Arthur Douglas Peppercorn (28 February 1847 - 1926) was a London-born landscape painter who has been likened to Corot.[1] He was one of a group who held annual exhibitions at the gallery of the Royal Watercolour Society, including also the landscape painter James Aumonier, James Stevens Hill and John Leslie Thomson.[2] He died in 1926 in Ashtead, Surrey.[3] His daughter was the international concert pianist Gertrude Peppercorn (1879–1966); she married in 1907 the writer Stacy Aumonier (1877–1928), the nephew of James Aumonier.[4]
