Henry Wyatt which was exhibited in the Royal Academy in 1836 (it was engraved by G. A. Periam); the "Philosopher", also called "Galileo" and "Archimedes", a fancy portrait, half-length life-size, exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1832 (engraved by Robert Bell).
Popular works include: "Fair Forester" and "Proffered Kiss" (both engraved by George Thomas Doo), "Juliet", "Chapeau Noir", "Gentle Reader", "The Romance", "Clara Mowbray", and "Mars and Venus". He painted a portrait of Thomas Harrison (1744-1829), which was hung in Chester Castle, of which he was the architect. William Bradley (1801-1857) painted a portrait of Wyatt in 1839.
He was a man of refined tastes, living a quiet bachelor life, but, as his sketch-books show, always industriously working at every variety of drawing; family groups, landscapes, cattle, buildings, shipping, animals of many kinds and flowers were alike drawn with the utmost care and with much ability. He exhibited 80 pictures in London between 1817 and 1838, including 35 at the Royal Academy.
His younger brother, Thomas Wyatt (1799?-1859), was also a portrait painter.
