He exhibited annually at the Royal Academy from 1778 until his death. Although he had high aspirations of becoming a successful history painter ill health forced him to work as a teacher and decorative painter. It was under these circumstances that he met Charles, third Duke of Richmond (1735-1806) who was an important patron of the arts. The Duke commissioned the artist to make a series of studies of the animals in his private zoo at Goodwood and the drawings in the present album are part of this series. Others can be found in the Witt Collection at the Courtauld Institute, London and the Huntington Library, San Marino
