Henry Barraud (artist)

The family was of French Huguenot origin that had come over to England at the time of the revocation of the Edict of Nantes.

[4] Like his brother, Henry excelled in painting animals, but his works were chiefly portraits, with horses and dogs, and subject pictures, such as 'The Pope blessing the Animals' (painted in 1842), many of which were executed in conjunction with his brother.

Barraud's most popular works were: "We praise Thee, O God"; "The London Season, a scene in Hyde Park"; "Lord's Cricket Ground"; and "The Lobby of the House of Commons" (painted in 1872), all of which were engraved or autotyped.

Barraud died at his home in Gloucester Place, London on 17 June 1874, in his sixty-fourth year.

His son Francis Barraud (1856–1924) was also an artist—best remembered for his painting of "Nipper" the dog on the "His Master's Voice" record label.
