b. 1790

Heneage Finch, 4th Earl of Aylesford is 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.
