WESTALL, RICHARD (17651836) ,
English
  subject painter, was born in
Hertford
  in 1765, of a
Norwich
  family. In 1779 he went to London, and was apprenticed to an engraver on silver, and in 1785 he began to study in the schools of the Royal
Academy
 . He painted " Esau seeking Jacob's Blessing," "
Mary
  Queen of Scots going to Execution " and other historical subjects in water-colour, and some good portraits in the same
medium
 , but he is mainly known as a book-illustrator. He produced five subjects for the Shakespeare Gallery, illustrated an edition of Milton, executed a very popular
series
  of illustrations to the Bible and the
prayer
 -book, and designed places for numerous other works. In 18o8 he published a poem, A Day in
Spring
 , illustrated by his own pencil. His designs are rather tame, mannered and effeminate. He became an associate of the Royal
Academy
  in 1792, and a full member in 1794; and during his later years he was a pensioner of the Academy. He died on the 4th of December 1836. His brother, William Westall, A.R.A. (r781185o), landscape painter, is mainly known by his illustrations to works of travel.
