Augustus Henry Fox

Augustus Henry Fox (9 January 1822 – 1895) was an English portrait painter who exhibited three works at the Royal Academy.

Biography Fox was born in London, the son of Augustus Fox, an artist and engraver, and Ann Alice Burnard. He married Mary Ann Turney in 1845.

In 1843, Fox was a Silver Medal "for the next best drawing from the antique" at a Royal Academy assembly in London.

Although Fox exhibited at the Royal Academy, little was recorded about him until 2010, when an oil painting signed A. H. Fox, depicting an unidentified bearded man in civilian dress, which had been found discarded in a waste skip, was put up for sale on the BBC television programme Flog It!. Untitled.
