Charles Sturt b. 1795

  • Artist (Draughtsman)
Despite his reputation as an explorer, Charles Sturt was also a keen sketcher who drew early admiration from the Duke of Wellington, whose portrait Sturt drew while an ensign in the British Army. Many of Sturt's Australian sketches were later used as illustrations in his books about his inland Australian explorations. The noted natural historian John Gould was also an admirer of Sturt's drawings,
