Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SIV-SOU
SMITH, COLVIN (17951875) , Scottish portrait-painter, was born at Brechin,
Scotland
 , in 1795. He studied in London in the schools of the Royal
Academy
  and worked in Nollekens's studio. He then proceeded to Italy, where he executed some fine copies from Titian; and at Antwerp be made studies from the works of
Rubens
 . Returning to
Scotland
  in 1827, he settled in Edinburgh, occupying the
house
  and studio which had formerly belonged to Raeburn. Soon he attained a wide practice as a portrait-painter, and among his sitters were Lord Jeffrey,
Henry
  Mackenzie, author of The Man of Feeling, and many of the most celebrated Scotsmen of the time. His portrait of Sir Walter Scott was so popular that he executed some twenty replicas of it, for seven of which he received fresh sittings. His works are distinguished by excellent draftsmanship, by directness and simplicity of treatment, and by well-marked individuality. He died in Edinburgh on the 21st of July 1875.
