Arthur Foord Hughes (1856-1914) was an English genre- and landscape artist.[1]

Hughes was born in Pimlico, London, England,[2] the son of the Pre-Raphaelite painter Arthur Hughes,[3] and his wife and former model, Tryphena Foord.[2]

A page containing four figure studies, made by Dante Gabriel Rossetti in 1857, including one of Hughes as a baby, is in the collection of Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.[3] He was also the model for the title character in his father's illustrations for "Tom Brown's School Days".[2]

He had five siblings, including a sister, Emily, who, along with his father, survived him.[4] He is buried at Hastings Cemetery.[2]

His works feature in several public collections, including Ringmer Windmill (late 19th century watercolour) and Bexhill Downs Mill (c.1900) at Brighton Museum & Art Gallery.[5]
