Erskine Nicol, 1880. He exhibited his first painting at the Royal Scottish Academy at the age of fifteen. In 1846 he went to Dublin, and taught privately there for the next five years.

He was then elected an associate of the Royal Academy in 1866, and joined the retired list in 1885.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Erskine Nicol, a renowned artist from the 19th century. The image showcases Nicol's distinguished appearance, with his full beard and skullcap adding to his artistic persona. Nicol's talent was evident from an early age when he exhibited his first painting at the Royal Scottish Academy as a mere fifteen-year-old. After spending five years teaching privately in Dublin, Ireland, he drew inspiration from the country for many of his subsequent artworks. Recognized for his exceptional skills, Nicol became an associate of both the Scottish Academy in 1851 and the Royal Academy in 1866. His dedication to art led him to retire only in 1885 after leaving an indelible mark on the art world. Captured by Lock & Whitfield, this portrait exemplifies their expertise in photographing contemporary portraits of notable individuals across various fields such as politics, religion, science, literature, and art. The monochrome composition adds a timeless quality to this image while highlighting Nicol's striking features. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to a bygone era where artists like Erskine Nicol played pivotal roles in shaping Scotland's artistic landscape. This photograph serves as a testament to Nicol's contribution to the arts and reminds us of his enduring legacy within our cultural heritage.
