Little is known of the life of the painter of this work, William J. MacLeod, (active 1928–1950) other than it is thought that he worked for the Government department the Ministry of Works. Another work in the GAC, a scale copy of the ceiling of the Queen’s Drawing Room at Hampton Court – a copy of fresco by A. Verrio – indicates that MacLeod worked in the Restoration Studio at the Ministry of Works.
