David Winder (1824–16 April 1912) was a British portrait painter from Lancashire, England.
David Winder was the son of John Winder, manager of a textile mill in Bolton, Lancashire. He gained a reputation as the painter of several portraits of Bolton dignitaries,[1] including several mayors. One of his earliest existing paintings is his portrait of the former Mayor of Bolton, Charles James Darbishire, painted in oil.[2] He also painted landscapes and exhibited at the Royal Institute in Manchester. He lived all his life in Bolton and was buried in Heaton Cemetery, Bolton. He had married Sarah Green: both their son David Horatio and their daughter became accomplished artists.[3]
Winder has nine oil paintings in UK public art collections. His portrait of James Ashworth (1815-1889) is held by Gallery Oldham, while the remainder are in the collection of Bolton Museum, Lancashire.[4]
