Charles Alfred Stothard was an English artist and antiquarian born in London in 1786. He made careful drawings of medieval tombs and of the Bayeux Tapestry, which he copied in the 1810s for the Society of Antiquaries. He died in 1821 after falling from a ladder while sketching a stained-glass window in a church in Devon.
