Living in Australia for roughly two decades in the mid-19th century, a number of Henrietta Bloxsome's works survive in national collections. They variously depict scenes of Sydney Harbour and her residence in Mosman.

watercolourist and sketcher, married Oswald Bloxsome senior on 7 June 1825 in St George’s, Hanover Square, London. With her husband and son Oswald (born 18 February 1826), she sailed for Sydney from Plymouth on 11 April 1838. Her watercolour, Sydney Harbour, New South Wales (c.1849, ML) is a view from her home, The Rangers, at Mosman. A pencil sketch of Dwellings, Sydney 1850 (labelled a copy) also exists, as well as copies of English and European views done before her marriage (NLA). A pencil sketch in the National Library attributed to Oswald Bloxsome may also be by her. She returned to England with her husband in October 1856.
