A sketcher, FitzRoy served as a naval officer on the Beagle with Charles Darwin and was later influenced by the work of official expedition artist, Conrad Martens. FitzRoy made sketches of the indigenous inhabitants of South America and Western Australia during his extended exploratory voyages. Always of a volatile nature, he became increasingly unstable and eventually committed suicide in 1865.
