Walter's mentor Fred Elwell and his wife Mary are also represented with three views of Austria from Mary (lots 446, 447 & 466) and a still life of flowers (lot 486) and a study of a gentleman reading in bed (lot 481) from Fred. Lot 481 the study of a gentleman reading in bed is believed to be Mr Peck, a Beverley butcher painted whilst he was ill.

Other local artist of interest are James Neal and Michael Whitehand from whom there are two paintings each. Further afield, Algenon Newton, Marion Broom and Noel Leaver might spark interest.
