Arthur Foord Hughes (1856 – 20 July 1934) was an English genre and landscape artist.[1]
Hughes was born in Pimlico, London, England,[2] the son of the Pre-Raphaelite painter Arthur Hughes,[3] and his wife and former model, Tryphena Foord. He was the cousin of Edward Robert Hughes, also an artist.
A page containing four figure studies, made by Dante Gabriel Rossetti in 1857, including one of Hughes as a baby, is in the collection of Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery. He was also the model for the title character in his father's illustrations for Tom Brown's School Days.
He had four siblings, including a sister, Emily, who survived him.[4] He is buried at Hastings Cemetery.
His works feature in several public collections, including Ringmer Windmill (late 19th century watercolour) and Bexhill Downs Mill at Brighton Museum & Art Gallery.[5]
