Biography
Portrait of a lady, 1831, collection Teylers Museum

He was trained at the Royal Academy Schools in 1821 where he became a friend of the Shropshire sculptor Thomas Carline, whose sister Jane he married. While he was at the academy, his portrait was painted by its president, the painter Martin Archer Shee, in 1823. In 1830 he travelled to the Netherlands with Carline. From this period, the Teylers Museum has several of his portraits in their collection. The Shrewsbury Museum & Art Gallery also has several of his works.[2]

gollark: Oh, conspicuously, that's what I mean.
gollark: So what do you actually hope to gain by confusingly and quite noticeably refusing to mention the existence of esoserver?
gollark: As far as I know most discussion and invitation to esoserver happened over DMs anyway.
gollark: You're quite literally metaphorically acting like a repressive authoritarian government (I mean, not torturing people and such, but denying the existence of opposition, thinking you're the only one who can save the people from themselves, censoring anything (invites) which *might be* opposition), except with less power since you can't stop people directly communicating with each other.
gollark: That would probably not have helped.
