carrier
  and his donkey overcame his father's objections to art as a career for his son. When sixteen he entered the Trustees' Academy in Edinburgh, working under Robert Scott Lauder with W. Q. Orchardson, J. MacWhirter, W. M`Taggart, Peter Graham, Tom Graham and G. P. Chalmers. His first exhibits at the Royal Scottish Academy were " A Scene from the Fortunes of Nigel "one of the many subjects for which he sought inspiration in the novels of Sir Walter Scottand two portraits in 1858, followed in 1859 by " The Prison Pet." To the Royal Academy in 186o he sent " The Armourers "; and the success of this
work
  and or " What d'ye Lack, Madam? " in the following year, encouraged him to settle in London (1862), where he joined Orchardson. In 1866 he was elected an Associate of the Royal Academy, and in 1874 received full academical honours in succession to Sir Edwin Landseer. His diploma picture was " Jacobites, 1745." Pettie was a hard and rapid worker, and, in his best days, a colourist of a high order and a brilliant executant. In his early days he produced a certain amount of book
illustration
 . His connexion with Good Words began in 1861, and was continued till 1864. With J. MacWhirter he illustrated The Postman's Bag (Strahan, 1862), and Wordsworth's Poetry for the
Young
  (Strahan, 1863). His principal paintings, in addition to those already mentioned, are " Cromwell's Saints " (1862); " The Trio " (1863); " George Fox refusing to take the Oath " (1864); " A Drumhead Court-martial "(1865); " The Arrest for Witchcraft " (1866) ; " Treason" (1867, now in the Mappin Art Gallery, Sheffield); " Tussle with a Highland Smuggler " (1868); " The Sally " (1870); " Terms to the Besieged " (1872) ; " The Fiag of Truce " (1873); " Ho ! Ho ! Old Noll " and " A State
Secret
  " (1874) ; "A Sword and Dagger Fight" (1877) ; " The Death Warrant " (1879) ; " Monmouth and James II."(1882); " The Vigil " (1884, in the Chantrey Collection, National Gallery of British Art); " Challenged " (1885); " The Chieftain's Candlesticks " (1886) ; " Two Strings to Her Bow " (1887); " The Traitor " and " Sir Charles
Wyndham
  as David
Garrick
  " (1888); and " The
Ultimatum
  " and " Bonnie Prince Charlie " (1892). Pettie died at Hastings on the 21st of February 1893. In 1894 a selection of his
work
  was included in the Winter Exhibition of the Royal Academy. His portrait by himself is in the Tate Gallery.
John Pettie, R.A. (London, 1908), by his nephew Martin Hardie, gives the story of his life, a catalogue of his pictures, and fifty reproductions in colours.
