|Moses Vanderbank was the son of a Huguenot tapestry weaver who was forced to flee Holland and the younger brother of the more celebrated portraitist John Vanderbank (1694-1739). Besides a Family Group depicting three children, signed and dated 1733, which was on the UK market, his rare known works include three altarpieces in the 12th century church at Adel near Leeds.
