William Linnaeus Casey (1835-1870) THE CAVALIER inscribed by a previous owner on reverse watercolour with bodycolour and gum arabic 28 by 23cm., 11 by 9.25in. Provenance: Estate of Councillor Hewitt, Cork; Joseph Donnelly(?), solicitor, Cork; Private collection, England Born in Cork, Casey studied at the Cork School of Design during the early 1850s. In 1852 he won a scholarship to the School of Design at Marlborough House, London. Two years later he returned to Ireland to accept a teaching post at the Limerick School of Art, remaining there four years, after which he went to London again. There he was appointed Master of the St. Martin’s Lane Academy, where the future King Edward VII was one of his pupils. Ruskin praised the richness of colouring in his work. Three watercolours of Casey’s are in the V&A and an oil is in the Crawford Gallery, Cork (see Strickland, Vol. 1, p. 162).
