Charles Grant Davidson (30 July 1824 – 19 April 1902)[1][2] was a British watercolour painter.
Davidson was born in London, of Scottish parents, on 30 July 1824, and was left an orphan at an early age.
[1] At the end of a year he left in order to study music, but finally decided on painting, and worked for some years under John Absolon, a member of the New Water Colour Society (now the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours).
His subjects were chiefly typical English landscapes; he also worked a good deal in Wales.
[1] His Haymaking at Priory Park, Near Reigate was bought by Prince Albert as a Christmas present for Queen Victoria in 1856.
