Augustus Jules Bouvier
Augustus Jules Bouvier (1827–1881) was one of the first artists known to have exhibited at the British Institution. His entry into the exhibit was a picture entitled The Fish Market in Boulogne.
Bouvier was a student at the Royal Academy. He later went on to complete his studies in France and Italy. In 1852 he exhibited for the first time at the Royal Academy; he continued to exhibit there over the years that followed. Many of his exhibitions consisted of genre scenes and a series of idealised feminine portraits: Jessica in 1854, Emily in 1857, and Hermosita in 1859. From 1865 onwards he was a member of the New Watercolour Society.
