Photograph of a full length portrait of Edward H Corbould standing facing front, his right arm around his son, Ridley Edward Arthur Lamothe, who stands on a chair beside his father.

Corbould was an English artist, mainly of historical subjects and often in watercolour. In 1842 his watercolour The Woman taken in Adultery was purchased by Prince Albert. Nine years later he was appointed instructor of historical painting to the royal family. He continued to teach the royal family for twenty-one years.
