Lot Essay

William Brodie was accepted into the Scottish Royal Academy in 1847 and the Royal Academy in 1850. He produced a number of notable works depicting important figures including Queen Victoria (1868) and David Livingston (1879). Some of these proved to be so popular they were reproduced in Parian.
