"A Newlyn Character" is a notable painting by the British artist Henry Maynell Rheam, created in 1901. Rheam, a prominent figure associated with the Newlyn School of artists, is renowned for his Pre-Raphaelite style and his contributions to the artistic community in Newlyn, Cornwall. The Newlyn School was a colony of artists who settled in the fishing village of Newlyn in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, drawn by the picturesque scenery and the quality of light in the area, which was ideal for plein air painting.

The painting "A Newlyn Character" exemplifies Rheam's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. It portrays a local fisherman, a common subject among Newlyn artists who often depicted the daily lives and labor of the fishing community. The work is characterized by its realistic portrayal, vibrant colors, and the careful rendering of textures, from the weathered skin of the fisherman to the coarse fabric of his clothing.

Rheam's approach in this painting reflects the broader aims of the Newlyn School, which sought to depict the authenticity and dignity of rural and working-class life. The artist's use of natural light and his focus on the individual character of his subject contribute to the painting's lifelike and engaging quality. "A Newlyn Character" not only serves as a testament to Rheam's skill as a painter but also as a historical document that offers insight into the social and cultural milieu of early 20th-century Cornwall.

The painting is held in high regard and is part of the collection at the Penlee House Gallery and Museum in Penzance, Cornwall. It continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and its contribution to the legacy of the Newlyn School.
