F. Ross was an engraver and was based in London throughout his career. He exhibited two works at the Society of British Artists in Suffolk Street, London. In 1828 he was living at 4 Howland Street, near the Strand, when he exhibited a work made after a Correggio (described as a watercolour, miniature or print). In 1849 he gave his address as 1 Cowley Cottage, Wandsworth Road, when he exhibited a lithograph of ‘Evening’, after a work by Dutch painter Paulus Potter (1625-1654), which was then in the collection of Henry Ralph Willett of Merly House in Dorset. Ross’s ‘View of St. James's Park Shewing Rosamond's Pond’ (published 1840) was engraved after a Hogarth painting, also in Willett’s collection.
