Philip Richard Morris (British 1836-1902)The Lost Heir Oil on canvas Signed (lower right) 115 x 156cm (45¼ x 61¼ in.)Exhibited:London, Royal Academy, 1877 Philip Richard Morris was born in Devonport into a family of iron founders. It took the endorsement of William Holman Hunt to convince Morris's father to let him study art and he excelled at the Royal Academy, winning two silver and a gold medal for his biblical picture The Good Samaritan, now in Blackburn Museum and Art Gallery. He was awarded a travelling scholarship and spent several years in France and Italy. He is known for his biblical, historical and domestic subjects, but later in his career turned almost exclusively to portraiture. He exhibited at the Royal Academy for over forty years and the present picture was shown there the year he was elected an Associate of The Royal Academy in 1877.
