WEBSTER, THOMAS (1800-1886) , English figure painter, was born at
Ranelagh
 
Street
 , Pimlico, London, on the loth of
March
  1800. His father was a member of the
household
  of George III.; and the son, having shown an aptitude for music, became a chorister in the Chapel Royal, St James's. He, however, developed a still stronger love for painting, and in 1821 he was admitted student of the Royal
Academy
 , to whose exhibition he contributed, in 1824, portraits of " Mrs Robinson and Family." In the following year he gained the first
medal
  in the school of painting. Till 1879 he continued to exhibit in the Royal
Academy
 
work
  of a genial and gently humorous character, dealing commonly with subjects of
familiar
  incident, and especially of child life. Many of these were exceedingly popular, particularly his " Punch " (1840), which procured in 1841 his election as A.R.A., followed five years later by full membership. He became an honorary retired academician in 1877, and died at
Cranbrook
 , Kent, on the 23rd of September 1886. His " Going into School, or the Truant " (1836), and his " Dame's School " (1845) are in the National Gallery, and five of his works are in the
South
  Kensington Museum.
