The artist was the son of a Scottish architectural sculptor living in Australia. He moved to London in 1882, where public commissions for his work included statues of Queen Victoria in Blackburn, and Edward VII in London. His more domestic-scale works were inspired by the developments of post-impressionist and expressionist sculpture and art in Paris, leading to a series of romantic secular subjects of mythical and allegorical female figures such as Diana, Circe or Salome.
