John Dudley Forsyth (1874-1926) was a painter, sculptor and stained glass artist, who worked with James Powell & Sons up to 1891 and then for Henry Holiday, before setting up his own studio in Hampstead in about 1900. Holiday’s passion for the human figure as a vehicle for emotion certainly influenced Forsyth’s choice and treatment of subjects in the years ahead.
