Eyre Crowe, brother of Joseph Archer Crowe and uncle of Eyre Crowe , was taught initially in London by William Darley , then in Paris by Paul Delaroche , with whom he went to Rome in 1843 for further training.

After residing in America from 1852 to 1857, he returned to London and created a series of pictures which reveal a great depth of sensation, excellent characterization of the figures, and a thorough study of details, but often harsh in color and are dry.

- A slave market in Virginia
- Defoe in the pillory
- The funeral Goldsmiths (1863)
