Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Peter Le Lievre" in Simple English language version.
Unlike his better known contemporary, Paul Jacob Naftel, Peter Le Lievre never exhibited his paintings or sought election to the Society of Water-Colour Artists. Either would have brought him recognition, and perhaps even wealth, but his painting remained a private hobby known only to his friends and 'those who have visited his studio'. Since his death, however, Peter Le Lievre's watercolours, which depict with charm, delicacy and accuracy the landscape, buildings and people of nineteenth century Guernsey, have commanded an increasingly high local esteem.
