Henry Pickering was a pupil of Hamlet Winstanley (1698–1756) and traveled to Italy to finish his art education. He returned to England around 1740 and initially worked in Nottingham, where he made his name painting portraits of notable members of society. His work took him to Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cheshire and North Wales, and by 1760 after spending a brief time in Liverpool, Pickering settled in Manchester. He was a highly successful artist and received many commissions from wealthy patrons. Like Hudson and Reynolds, he employed Van Aken as his drapery painter. Pickering died in Manchester in 1771. Examples of his work are held by the National Museum Wales, National Trust, Nottingham Castle, Museum & Art Gallery, Samuel Johnson Birthplace Museum and Bookshop, University of Cambridge, Walker Art Gallery and the York Castle Museum.
