Erskine Nicol

Erskine Nicol (1825 in Edinburgh, Scotland – 1904) was a Scottish painter.

Career

A student of William Allan, Nicol taught in Dublin, Ireland, from 1845-50, at the height of the Irish famine, and considered himself as much Irish as he was Scottish. Much of his work portrays the injustices inflicted upon the Irish population during the 19th century.
