This portrait captures the distinguished visage of Edward Craven Hawtrey (1789-1862), an esteemed educator who dedicated his life to shaping the minds of future generations as Provost of Eton College.

Born in London in 1789, Hawtrey was educated at Eton College before going on to study at Trinity College, Cambridge. After a successful career as a clergyman, he was appointed Provost of Eton in 1835, a position he held until his retirement in 1862. During his tenure, Hawtrey oversaw significant reforms to the curriculum and discipline at the prestigious school, instilling a strong emphasis on classical education and moral values. Hawtrey's influence extended beyond Eton's walls, as he was also a prolific writer and scholar. He authored numerous works on education, history, and theology, and was a fellow of the Royal Society and the Society of Antiquaries. His dedication to the pursuit of knowledge and the betterment of young minds made him a respected figure in Victorian society. Despite the passage of time, this portrait of Edward Craven Hawtrey continues to resonate, offering a glimpse into the life of a man who left an indelible mark on the history of education in England. The solemn expression on his face speaks to the weight of responsibility he bore as Provost, while the subtle details of his attire and the elegant framing of the image serve as a reminder of the elegance and refinement of the Victorian era.
