Légende

The late Mr. J. L. Lucas, 1874. 'This well-known portrait-painter, whose death we have already announced, was born in London, July 4, 1807. He commenced his artistic career under Mr. S. W. Reynolds, the mezzotint engraver; but at the close of his apprenticeship he became a portrait-painter. During his professional life he painted many portraits of the Royal family, of members of the aristocracy, and of some of the most distinguished men of the age. The late Duke of Wellington sat to him for pictures for the county of Hants, for the University of Oxford, for the King of Hanover, for Prince Metternich, for the Prussian army, for the Austrian army, for the Oxford and Cambridge Universities Club, and for many others. Mr. Lucas also painted the portrait group representing the consultation of Robert Stephenson, Brunel, Bidder, Locke, and other eminent engineers on the day previous to the floating of the last tube of the bridge over the Menai Strait. About sixty of his pictures have been engraved'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
