Samuel Owen (artist)
This was followed in 1797, after the victory of Cape St. Vincent, by "A View of the British and Spanish Fleets", and, in 1799, by three drawings of the engagement between HMS Director (under Captain Bligh) and Vryheid (Admiral De Winter) in the Battle of Camperdown on 11 October 1797.
[1] In 1808 he joined the "Associated Artists in Water-Colours",[2] and sent eleven drawings of shipping and marine subjects to the first exhibition of that short-lived body.
His works were carefully drawn and freshly coloured, with great attention to the details of shipping.
[1] Owen died at Sunbury in Surrey, on 8 December 1857, in his 89th year, but had long before ceased to practise his art.
A small half-length portrait of Owen in watercolours, signed 'Montague, 1805,' was in the possession of Dr. Edward H.
