12 ANIMAL PAINTERS 



grouping. As a painter of animals he possessed

 Charles Hancock's death. His active career as 

 a painter can be traced from 1819 to 1847, the 

 period during which he contributed to the Royal 

 Academy, but there is reason to believe that he 

 attained the age of sixty, in which case it would 

 seem that his brush lay idle in his later years.
