Royston Nave (1886–1931) was an American artist. Mr. Nave was born in La Grange Texas on November 5, 1886. His mother was his first art instructor, Lou Scott Royston, who was also a well-known Texas painter. He studied under such diverse mentors as Pompeo Coppini, Texas Culptro ("Confederate Soldier", DeLeon Plaza, Victoria), J. Ferdinand McCan of Victoria, Robert Henri, Walt Kuhn, Lawton Parker, and I.R. Wilson. Nave continued to paint the landscape he was so fond of, as well as commissioned portraits. One of his most well-known, a portrait of Rebecca Fisher, the "Mother of Texas," is in the extensive collection of the State Capitol in Austin. He had many exhibitions in New York, The National Academy, the Pennsylvania Academy and the Cargneie International Exhibition of 1919 in Pittsburgh
