Brief Biography-Earl Ralph was born in Massachusetts. He was a self-taught portraitist but is renowned for sketching four scenes of the Battle of Lexington. Earl travelled to England in 1778 and studied under Benjamin West. The Royal Academy exhibited his portraits in 1783. He had left a family behind in New England; however, he married again in England without a divorce. He returned to America in 1785, continuing with portraiture until his health failed due to alcoholism. Earl died in Bolton in 1801. His Brother James, son Ralph, and nephew Auguste Earle were artists. |
