Charles Lorraine Smith or Charles Loraine was a British artist, politician and sportsman.
Lorraine was an avid horseman, an excellent hunter and an amateur painter at the same time. Contemporaries wrote that his paintings were the result of a happy combination of his hunting experience and artistic talent. Indeed, his works depicting hunting scenes and horses were very successful. Lorraine also drew caricatures mocking some of the customs of hunters, such as when they smoke while fox hunting.
