Son of a leather- breeches-maker, who removed to London, where, when fifteen years old, William en- tered the schools of the Royal Academy / exhibited first in 1803, became an A.R.A. in 1815, and R.A. in 1816. He began by painting landscapes, but soon turned his attention to subject- painting, and by careful study of the Dutch masters won a high position in that branch of art.
