Herbert Sidney Percy

Herbert Sidney Percy (18 February 1863 - 8 October 1932)[1][2] was a member of the Williams family of painters who painted mainly portraits, but also produced some fine landscapes of the English countryside.

He married Maud Thompson, who was the sister of the well-known Shakespearean actress Constance Crawley.

Percy entered the Royal Academy of Art Schools in December 1881 at the age of 18, and spent two three-year terms there, earning two silver medals.

He also painted some impressionist pieces, worked as a picture restorer, and prepared engravings, often from his own line drawings, for books and magazines.

His portrait of Captain James Wood hangs in the Royal Marines Museum in Portsmouth, Hampshire.
