Born in London, United Kingdom, William Collins was an English landscape and genre painter, as well as an etcher and artist. The son of an Irish-born picture-dealer and writer, Collins demonstrated an early aptitude for art and was an informal pupil of George Morland. He entered the schools of the Royal Academy in 1807, exhibiting there for the first time that same year. His early success included winning a medal in the life school in 1809. By 1812, he achieved fame with his work The Sale of the Pet Lamb, which was engraved by S. W. Reynolds. His popularity grew through the support of various patrons, and he was elected a Royal Academician in 1820, presenting Young Anglers as his diploma picture.
