From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Richard Ansdell (1815-1885), English painter, was born in Liverpool, and first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1840. He was a painter of genre, chiefly animal and sporting pictures, and he became very popular, being elected A.R.A. in 1861 and R.A. in 1870. His "Stag at Bay" (1846), The Combat (1847), and Battle of the Standard (1848), represent his best work, in which he showed himself a notable follower of Edwin Landseer.
