Percy Horton (1897-1970) was a British painter and art teacher known for his portraits, landscapes, and social realist works. Born in Brighton, he studied at the Royal College of Art and later taught at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art in Oxford. His portraits, including those of prominent figures such as E.M. Forster and Sir Arthur Tansley, are recognised for their depth and character.

Influenced by his socialist beliefs, Horton's work often depicted working-class subjects with empathy. His artistic legacy endures through his contributions to British art education and his evocative, human-centred approach to portraiture.
