John Dudley Forsyth (1874-1926) was a painter, sculptor and stained glass artist. He was initially an apprentice with James Powell & Sons but decided to accompany Henry Holiday when the latter left to establish his own studio in 1891. He set 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.
