Historical Paintings by Charles Enys
John and Charles Enys
were early runholders of Castle Hill having
bought the station in partnership with Edward
Curry off the Porter Brothers in 1864.
Although not as well known as his older brother
John, Charles Enys was a talented watercolour
painter and painted many pictures of their homestead
'Trelissick' (sited near the present day Castle
Hill Village) and the surrounding area.
A collection of about 60
of his paintings is currently housed in the
Australian National Library (ANL)in Canberra.
By permission of the ANL a selection of these
watercolours is shown below. (Photographic
copies of the paintings can also be ordered
on the ANL website at http://www.nla.gov.au/apps/picturescatalogue keyword: Enys)
