William Corden was born in Derbyshire in 1797 and apprenticed at Derby in 1811, working there until sometime after 1825 when he left for London to establish himself as a portrait painter, exhibiting at the Royal Academy in 1826. Most plaques by the artist are formal portraits where the subject is depicted before a distinctive red curtain. The subject of the present lot is most unusual.
