London Born in the Haymarket, London, 1763; pupil of his father; died in 1804. He came of a family of painters of some note, and his father was a portrait painter and drawing master, who also dealt in pictures. ‘The boy was born in the Hay- market, London, on June 26, 1763, and under his father’s tutition he drew aud painted with marked ability while yet a little child. His talent was so great, and his ability so marked, that he foundan abundance of patronage from both private col- lectors and dealers, and the popular nature of his subjects made a wide market for his works in the form of engravings. How wonderful his native talent was is shown by the fine quality of the pictures he produced. In the last eight years of his life he left a record of nearly eight hundred paintings, besides hundreds of drawings made for the engravers or for quick sale to collectors.
