He educated at Glasgow Academy and graduated M.A. at Glasgow University in 1882. He studied at Glasgow School of Art, the Slade School, and the Académie Julian in Paris under Gustave Boulanger, Jules Lefebvre, and Emmanuel Frémiet the sculptor.[3] He painted animals and birds, as well as some landscapes. In the early 1890s he was in Texas for a period, drawing horses and ranching scenes. He exhibited widely, including at the Royal Academy as well as in Scotland and the provinces. He served as President of the Royal Scottish Academy from 1933 to 1944 and was knighted in 1937. [4] In 1901 he had married Jean Wingate in Glasgow with whom had two sons and a daughter.
