Width: 65cm - Height: 90cm
Cotman was renowned for his portraits, landscapes, genre and historical scenes. He entered the Royal Academy School in 1868. He was a regular exhibitor of both oils and watercolours, showing at the Royal Academy from 1871 onwards. His ‘Death of Eucles’ (Town Hall, Ipswich), won him a gold medal in 1873.
Cotman’s early watercolours were admired and bought by important artistic figures such as Frederic Leighton and G.F. Watts. Leighton engaged Cotman to help paint ‘The Daphnephoria’ in 1876. Cotman was also employed in a similar capacity by H. T. Wells.
James McNeil Whistler admired Cotman’s work, and in a letter of 1888 to Walter Dowdeswell, spoke approvingly of Cotman’s current work on exhibition as ‘very pretty’.
