Nash was a water colour-painter and lithographer who studied architecture under the elder Pugin (Augustus), whom he accompanied to Paris and its environs. He earned his reputation by his picturesque views of late Gothic buildings, both English and Foreign, which he enlivened with figures grouped to illustrate the habits of their owners in bygone days, somewhat in the manner and style of Cattermole.
