See also:Furse, See also:arch-See also:deacon .of See also:Westminster, was descended collaterally from See also:Sir See also:Joshua See also:Reynolds, and in his See also:short span of See also:life achieved such rare excellence as a portrait and figure painter that he forms an important See also:link in the See also:chain of See also:British See also:portraiture which extends from the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

talent was precocious; at the See also:age of seven he gave indications of it in a number of drawings illustrating See also:Scott's novels
.
He entered the See also:Slade school in 1884, winning the Slade scholarship in the following See also:year, and completed his See also:education at See also:Julian's atelier in See also:Paris
.
Hard worker as he was, his activity was frequently interrupted by spells of illness, for he had See also:developed signs of See also:consumption when he was still attending the Slade school
.
An important See also:canvas called " See also:Cain" was his first contribution (1888) to the Royal See also:Academy, to the associateship of which he was elected in the year of his See also:death

.
He was married in See also:October 1900 to Katherine, daughter of See also:John Addington See also:Symonds
.
His fondness for See also:sport and of an open-See also:air life found expression in his art and introduced a new, fresh and vigorous See also:note into portraiture
.
There is never a See also:suggestion of the studio or of the fatiguing pose in his portraits
.
The sitters appear unconscious of being painted, and are generally seen in the pursuit of their favourite outdoor sport or pastime, in the full enjoyment of life
.
Such are the " See also:Diana of the Uplands," the " See also:Lord See also:Roberts " and " The Return from the Ride " at the See also:Tate See also:Gallery; the four See also:children in the " Cubbing with the See also:York and Ainsty," " The See also:Lilac See also:Gown," " Mr and Mrs See also:Oliver Fishing " and the portrait of Lord Charles See also:Beresford
.
Most of these pictures, and indeed nearly all the See also:work completed in the few years of Furse's activity, show a pronounced decorative tendency
