Egley, William
(Doncaster 1798- 1870 London)
Before turning to painting, Egley had worked in a London publishing house. He was an autodidact in the field of miniature painting and needed much time to adopt a good painting technique. From 1824 till 1869 he regularly exhibited at the Royal Academy in London. His son, William Maw Egley, became a miniaturist as well.
