Sutcliffe Maudsley, Pioneer artist 1809-1881.

Sutcliffe Maudsley was born near Accrington, Lancashire, England. Like his father, grandfather, and other members of the family before him, Sutcliffe worked in the textile mills where he was a trained pattern maker and designer. At an early age, he was "bound out" to learn art, having demonstrated some talent as a young boy. Although the extent of his artistic training is not known, Maudsley's paintings show that he was a relatively accomplished amateur artist. This updated drawing may have been completed in England or Nauvoo.
