The first is a double portrait showing both the maid and the soldier (minus his hat) set against a stone building similar to that depicted in the present example, and a church spire, but without the ships at sea. It was sold at Christie's in 2020 (Collection of Alexandra Tolstoy). The second is a pair of portraits showing the maid and soldier separately, the dwelling appearing in the former picture, and the sea visible in both (held by Tunbridge Wells Museum).East Sussex tailor George Smart, famed for his unique works of art fabricated from the scraps of cloth left over from his trade, was also noted for his portraits and dummy boards. His works were mentioned in several contemporary local guidebooks in the early 19th century which earned him minor celebrity status. His most famous subjects were ones he observed from his shop - Old Bright, the local postman, and The Goosewoman. Twenty-one works by George Smart were included in Tate Britain's 'British Folk Art' exhibition in 2014, and he is now recognised as one of the key figures in the history of English Folk Art.
