Henry Jackson Simpson was a prolific Aberdeen artist who painted and etched seascapes, still life, animals and landscapes. Simpson studied at Gordon's College, and later came under the influence of his uncle, Alex (Sandy) Fraser, who was head of Gray's School of Art.
The First World War interrupted Simpson's artistic career, he fought in France in 1914, first in the artillery, then the Northumberland Fusiliers, and won the Military Cross for bravery.
Simpson painted all over the North-east, enjoying many sporting activities that influenced his artwork. Later in life he took over the family shop at 4 Diamond Street, Aberdeen, where his brother made frames.
He was considered a talented artist and teacher, however Jackson was also known as a restorer, and was the North-east contact for Sotheby's, Christies and Phillips.
