| Devon unless otherwise stated. |
| By 1841, Frederick, already an established
portrait painter, his wife Elizabeth and his mother Mary, were resident
at Castle Street, in the St Lawrence district of Exeter. During the 1840`s he began his most active period leading to his showing at the Royal Academy in 1849 and continuing through to 1874. Frederick remarried in 1865 on the death of his first wife and moved to London from Cheltenham establishing his household in Chelsea until his death in 1884. His place within the art world of the 19th century has been recognized as a founder member of the water colour school. The National Portrait Gallery houses his most prestigious work, the posthumous portrait of the missionary and explorer David Livingstone (1813-1873), an oil on canvas donated by John Lillie in 1896. |
