'Pen' Browning

Sir: I am making a study of Browning's only son—Robert Wiedmann Barrett Browning, known as Pen. I should be most grateful to any of your readers for information—about his period at Oxford (Christ Church), his artistic career, marriage, and later life at Asolo. Particularly I should be glad of confirmation or disproof of his having had in his teens two children by Breton peasant girls.
