Isaac Henzell (1823-1875) was a British artist predominantly known for painting genre scenes. Born in Sheffield, little is known about his childhood or training but the census of 1841 records him as boarding in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. Here, he began his career as an artist, producing portraits from the town street. In 1842, he married Nancy Hemy, of the highly-regarded Hemy family of musicians. The family moved to Australia for two years. Once returned, he exhibited at the British Institution, Royal Academy, and the Society of British Artists. He is best known for painting genre scenes. His scenes often have a sentimental narrative and usually depict women. Girls carry baskets laden with produce, while barefooted fisherfolk gather optimistically on shores. Intriguingly, many of these paintings feature what appears to be the same red-headed girl. Henzell is represented in numerous public collections including the Bolton Museum, Laing Art Gallery, Reading Museum, and the Shipley Art Gallery.
