Explore: Charles B Newhouse

(1805 - 1877)

Charles B. Newhouse was a painter of coaching scenes and equestrian portraits. Most of his works were painted in watercolour, although there are also examples in oil. Several of his coaching scenes were engraved, mainly by Richard Gilson Reeve, but also by printmakers James Baily and Charles Rosenberg. Newhouse’s horses have been criticised for their exaggerated necks, tiny heads and spindly legs. However, his works also include skilfully-painted landscapes and often feature buildings.
