Painter and printmaker, born in Chester, who was married to two artists: first Mabel Lee-Hankey (Hobson), then Edith Garner. He studied at Chester School of Art under Walter Schroeder, at the Royal College of Art and in Paris. From the early 1890s Lee-Hankey exhibited at the main London galleries, especially Fine Art Society, RWS, Leicester and Lefevre Galleries; also RA, Goupil Gallery, Ridley Art Club, ROI, RE and Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool. During World War I he served with the Artists’ Rifles. British Museum and Victoria & Albert Museum hold his work, as do British provincial galleries and galleries as far apart as Budapest, Belfast and Vienna. For some time Lee-Hankey lived in France, where he produced a body of work. He is notable for his paintings of French harbour scenes and paintings and etchings of English country life, often of great sensitivity.
