About the Item
Henry Thomas Dawson
British, (1841-1918)
Ships off a Jetty at Sunset
Oil on canvas, signed with monogram
dated 1875
Image size: 15.5 inches x 23.5 inches
Size including frame: 24.5 inches x 32.5 inches
An atmospheric painting of ships off a jetty at Sunset by Henry Thomas Dawson. A two funnelled screw steamer can be seen moored next to a coal jetty, with other vessels laid up nearby. To the far left an old hulk rests between two sailboats bathed in the glow of the fading sun.
Henry Thomas Dawson was born in Nottingham in 1841, the son of the artist Henry Dawson (1811-1878) and his wife Elizabeth Whittle. His brother Alfred Dawson (1844) was also an artist and his other brother Charles was an inventor and the father of Montague Dawson (1890-1973). He lived with his family at Mansfield Road Nottingham until 1845 when they moved to Liverpool. They stayed there until 1849, when his father relocated to Croydon in Surrey living at Middle Heath Lane.
Although little is known about his early education, both Henry and his brother Alfred would have undoubtedly received tuition from their father, who was largely self-taught. By 1861, the family had moved to Thorpe in Surrey where Dawson established himself as an artist. As well as being an artist, he also studied engineering like his brother Charles and became an inventor.
He began exhibiting at the British Institution from 1860 and made his debut at the Royal Academy in 1866. He exhibited at the Royal Society of British Artists from 1868 and became a member of the organisation in 1872. Dawson spent his time painting shipping off the south coast of England, especially Kent and also visited Wales. He is also known to have travelled abroad to Holland where he painted views of Rotterdam.
From around 1863, he lived with his family at The Cedars, Burlington Lane in Chiswick and in 1866. He married Elizabeth Dearle in 1876 at Camberwell. Together, they lived in his father’s house in Chiswick, which he took over after his death in 1878. Later in life, he helped set up a motor engineer and repair works with his son Henry Alfred Dawson in Canterbury. Dawson died at Canterbury on 14 February 1918 and was buried at Canterbury City Cemetery.
Examples of his paintings can be found in a number of museums and public art galleries including Leicester Town Hall, Richmond Town Council, Royal Holloway, University of London and the York Museum.
Presentation: The painting is housed in its original gilt frame which is in excellent condition.
Condition: As with all of our original antique oil paintings, this work is offered in ready to hang gallery condition, having been professionally cleaned, restored and revarnished.
