Biographical history

Archival history

At the school probably since it was painted, but definitely since the early Nineteenth Century when the inscription was added. The first definite date is 1893 when the work is recorded in the Dictionary of National Biography. There is a similar work by Michael Dahl at Christ Church, but it would be unwise to connect the two on stylistic grounds.
