Alfred Grey - Artist

Alfred Grey RHA (1864-1934), was elected RHA in 1871. He lived all his life in the inner northside of Dublin city, yet the subject matter which he painted could not be more entrenched in country life, particularly Scottish rural life. He mainly painted animals such as goats, highland cattle and sheep in a Scottish setting. He was the son of the painter Charles Grey, and brother of painters Edwin Landseer, Gregor, James and Charles Malcolm Grey. He also visited Scotland and at Queen Victoria’s request Alfred painted a number of her favourite views in the neighbourhood of Mar Lodge.
