Charles Thomas Leeson Rowbotham was born in Dublin, Ireland and was an Irish watercolour landscape and marine artist and lithographer. He was taught by his father, the watercolour artist Thomas Leeson Scrase Rowbotham (1783–1853), and first began to paint seriously on a sketching trip to Wales in 1847. His work was exhibited at the Royal Academy, the Suffolk Street Gallery and many other prestigious galleries of the time. He was elected an associate of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours in 1848 and became a full member in 1851, and succeeded his father as Professor of Drawing at the Royal Naval School, New Cross in Greenwich.
