Henry Fortescue

Henry Fortescue was a British artist whose works often depicted landscapes and seascapes. His drawings, such as the ones shown, demonstrate a delicate touch, particularly in the rendering of the sails and clouds. The inclusion of figures in his landscape sketches, such as the women walking in the first image, adds a sense of scale and life to the scenes he captured. His artistic style likely reflected the prevailing trends of his time, making him a valuable documentarian of the English countryside and seascapes.
