Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Exhibition of Pictures and Sketches by Charles Wellington Furse, A. R. A
At an early age Charles showed a distinct talent for drawing. When he was seven years old he had a serious and protracted illness, during which he read voraciously. Scott's novels were his favourite reading, and he marked his appreciation of Sir Walter's robust and picturesque style by illustrations of the scenes that most impressed him. In these he evinced in a remarkable degree, not only a feeling for large composition, but the power of clearly conceiving his subject, and giving it vivid life. In his early Sketches, particularly in those of horses, vigour and the capacity for expressing motion were strong characteristics.
