Henry Rayner was born in Australia and worked there before coming to Britain. He studied at the Royal Academy and was a good friend of Walter Sickert. He was badly wounded in the blitz and became reclusive towards the end of his life. Amongst his many admirers was Augustus John who specially liked his drypoint etchings.
Henry Rayner is represented in the Ashmolean Museum, the Queen's Collection, The National Portrait Gallery and many other museums and art Galleries.
