HENRY WILKINSON 1921 - 2011

Henry Wilkinson was best known for his hunting, shooting and fishing paintings, etchings and engravings, particularly of sporting dogs.

He studied at The Royal College of Art and was elected a member of The Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers.

A superb and well-loved artist who enjoyed a career spanning more than 60 years, he became the acknowledged master of canine engraving following the death of his mentor, Vernon Stokes. Wilkinson hand-painted each engraving so that no two were exactly the same, each reflecting this fine artist’s deep love and understanding of the countryside and of the creatures and nature within it.
