Henry Westcarr

Henry Westcarr is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Henry Westcarr drew ships and coastal scenes in the early 1800s. One sheet shows *An Arab Dhow in the Red Sea*, a careful line drawing of a wooden trading vessel with its curved prow cutting through waves. Like many draftsmen of the period, he recorded real vessels instead of imagining them. Tap *An Arab Dhow in the Red Sea* to zoom in on the rigging details.
