Portrait of Heneage Finch, 4th Earl of Aylesford

1790–1790

Heneage Finch, 4th Earl of Aylesford was a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art.

A British aristocrat who lived for just one year, the 4th Earl of Aylesford left behind delicate ink-and-wash drawings of Welsh coastal towns. One sketch titled *At Tenby* shows narrow streets and harbor walls in faint graphite, gray ink, and subtle brown washes. The quick, precise lines suggest a quick sketchbook habit rather than grand finish. Tap *At Tenby* to wander the same 18th-century harbor walls.
