signed H Dawson (lower right)Henry Dawson (1811–1878) was a British landscape painter.Henry Dawson, selling his pictures for high prices in his later life, remained, strange to say, very little known except to artists and connoisseurs until the large and very interesting collection of his works that was made for the Nottingham Exhibition in 1878 brought him wider fame. This exhibition showed him to be a genuine English landscape painter, of no great imaginative or intellectual power, but who delighted in nature, and represented her faithfully to the best of his ability.60*90cm. oil on canvas.
