Scottish born, Scouler’s father was a harpsichord maker in their native Edinburgh. He probably learned the art of miniature painting alongside his cousin, John Brown (1749-1787) under the tutorship of William Delacour. Moving to London in 1769, he exhibited at the Royal Academy (1769-1784) a variety of works. Alongside portrait miniatures he showed drawings in chalks and crayons and he also collected works by the great pastellists, including Rosalba Carriera and Hugh Douglas Hamilton.Be the first to hear about our available artworks
