Robert Farrier was born in 1796 and died in 1879.
Farrier was first placed for instruction under an engraver, but subsequently began to earn a living by painting portraits in miniature, and became a student at the Royal Academy.
Farrier lived in Chelsea, London. He first exhibited his portrait miniatures at the Royal Academy in 1818, and in 1819 exhibited the first of a series of humorous pictures, depicting domestic subjects, and especially scenes from schoolboy life. These were popular and a number of them were engraved. One of his pictures, ‘The Parting’, was presented after his death to the South Kensington Museum.
