He also exhibited work at the Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts, the Royal Hibernian Academy, the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool and Manchester City Art Gallery. He was elected a member of Society of British Artists in 1879, and the Royal Society of Painters-Etchers and Engravers in 1881. He died at home, in Georgetown, Washington D.C., in 1907. .Provenance : From the collection of Frederic Gale Ruffner, Jr., the founder of Gale Research, Detroit.…
