Jacob George Strutt

Jacob George Strutt (4 August 1784 – 1867)[2][a] was a British portrait and landscape painter and engraver in the manner of John Constable.

Strutt was born on 4 August 1784 in Colchester, in Essex, one of eight children of Benjamin Strutt and Caroline, née Pollett.

[2][a] In London, on 8 November 1813, he married Elizabeth Byron, with whom he had four children; their second son, Arthur John Strutt, was born in 1819.

With his son Arthur he travelled in France and Switzerland from 1835 to 1837, and later to Italy; they established a studio in Rome.

[2] Strutt painted portraits and landscapes, mainly in gouache, in the style of Constable, with whom he may have studied.
