(c.1818 - 1880)
Charles Jones Basebe may have studied under English painter and writer George Dawe (1781-1829). He was best known as a miniature and portrait painter, and painted a number of portraits of cricketers, several of which are now in the collection at Lord’s Cricket Ground. He also painted a portrait of Prince Albert. Basebe lived in London and Brighton and exhibited 32 works at the Royal Academy and three at the Society of British Artists in Suffolk Street from 1835 to 1879. He died at his home in Islington in 1880.
