VON MEYERN, Arthur 1853?-1893

Born London, most probably father of painters Ellen and Blanche von Meyern. He painted portraits. Was listed as Dunedin artist 1883–86 Wise's. Taught at Braemar House School Dunedin in 1884. A “Von Dayern” portrait, almost certainly a misprint for “Von Meyern”, was shown at the Auckland Industrial and Mining Ex 1898 after his death but could have been lent by his daughter.
