Erhielt seine Ausbildung an der Malschule von William Shipley sowie an der Royal Academy of London. Von Kritikern schon früh gelobt, ließ sein extravaganter Lebensstil keine geradlinige Entwicklung zu. Private Eskapaden führten ihn zwischenzeitlich nach Dublin, bevor er sich wieder in London ansiedelte und kleinformatige Landschaften, Straßenszenen und Porträts im Stile von Jean-Baptiste Greuze malte. Als umfangreichere Projekte sind die Cries of London (1792-96) sowie einige Arbeiten zu Boydell's Shakespeare Gallery zu nennen. 1791 wurde er vollwertiges Mitglied der Royal Academy.
