John Hayter RA (21 October 1800 – 3 June 1895) was an English portrait painter who was Painter-in-Ordinary to Queen Victoria, whom he first painted when she was 12 years old.
He was the second son of the miniaturist Charles Hayter & brother of Sir George Hayter, also a portraitist. He entered the Royal Academy schools in 1815, and began to exhibit at the Royal Academy in the same year. He also exhibited work at the British Institution and the Royal Society of British Artists. Hayter established himself during the 1820s, with portraits of notable figures such as the Duke of Wellington and the opera singer, Giuditta Pasta. His portrait drawings, in chalks or crayons, became particularly popular, a number of them being engraved for The Court Album, which contained portraits of the female aristocracy (1850–57).
Hayter's paintings are housed in the National Portrait Gallery, The Royal Academy, San Francisco Art Museums, Tate Gallery, Courtauld Institute, National Gallery of Art Washington D.C. The Smithsonian New York, National Library of Australia, Art Gallery of Victoria B.C. Canada, and many more prestigious galleries globally.
