318 GEORGE HENRY BOUGHTON RA (1833-1905)

A 17th Century Style Interior Scene with a thoughtful gentleman

Oil on canvas, unframed, 97 x 143cm

Boughton was born in Norwich, Norfolk, England, the son of farmer William Boughton. The family emigrated

to the United States in 1835, and he grew up in Albany, New York where he started his career as a self-taught

artist. At this early stage he was influenced by the artists of the Hudson River School.

Boughton exhibited extensively in both Britain and USA, and was elected a member of the National Academy

of Design in New York in 1871. He was elected a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours, an

Associate of the Royal Academy (ARA) in 1879, and a Royal Academician (RA) in 1896. His subject matter largely

included illustrations of American colonial history.
