Moses Haughton the younger

Moses Haughton the younger

Moses Haughton (July 7, 1773 – June 26, 1849) was an English engraver and painter of portrait miniatures.

Born in Wednesbury in the Black Country, the nephew of the painter Moses Haughton the elder, he moved to Liverpool in 1790. There he became a friend of William Roscoe and possibly studied under George Stubbs before enrolling at the Royal Academy Schools in London in 1795.[1]

From 1803 Haughton was the resident engraver to Henry Fuseli, and it was largely through Haughton's prints that Fuseli's work became widely known;[2] He also painted a miniature of Fuseli and his wife.

Haughton exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1808-48. Two of his miniatures, "The Love Dream", and "The Captive" were engraved by R. W. Sievier; other portraits were also engraved. Amongst his other notable portrait subjects was Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
