Biography
A popular Victorian artist, who lived in Bristol, jumped aboard the Balmoral bandwagon driven by Landseer, to produce many Scottish sporting scenes in which live animals, tended by dour ghillies, predominate over the dead bag to hand. Both figures and landscape settings were painted well enough and bore such titles as ‘On the Moors’ or ‘Tying up the Game’. His compositions now have a certain antimacassar-period charm.
