About the Art: Superior Edition
About the Artist:

Sir William Allan (1782 – 23 February 1850) was a distinguished Scottish historical painter known for his scenes of Russian life.

Allan was born in Edinburgh, the son of William Allan Snr., macer - a humble officer of the Court of Session. He was educated at the High School, Edinburgh, showing an aptitude for art, he was apprenticed to a coach-painter.

After a few years he came to London, and entered the schools of the Royal Academy. In 1805 he travelled, by ship, to Russia, but was wrecked at Memel, where he raised funds for the remaining journey by painting portraits of the Dutch consul and others. He then proceeded overland to St. Petersburg, passing through a great portion of the Russian army on its way to Austerlitz. In 1809 a picture by him of "Russian Peasants keeping their Holiday" was exhibited at the Royal Academy. His wish to return home in 1812 had to be postponed due to the French invasion of Russia, many of the horrors of which he witnessed first-hand.

Allan was able to return to Edinburgh in 1814. His "Death of the Regent Murray" (exhibited 1825) was purchased by the Duke of Bedford for 800 guineas, and gained the artist his election as an associate of the Royal Academy. In 1826 he was appointed master of the Trustees' School, Edinburgh, an office which he held till a few years before his death.

In 1835 he was elected a Royal Academician, and in 1838, on the death of Sir George Watson, was made president of the Royal Scottish Academy. In 1841 he went to St. Petersburg, and in the same year succeeded Wilkie as limner to the queen in Scotland, an office which was, as usual, followed (in 1842) by a knighthood.
