William Mulready (English: William Mulready, 1786 – 1863) was a well-known English genre painter. Born in Ireland, he moved to London very early and at the age of fifteen, he became an apprentice at the local Academy of Arts. A series of drawings he created in 1806 for a childrens book: The Butterfly Ball, immediately brought him popularity, which was further enhanced by subsequent illustrations for similar publications: The Lion Masquerade, The Peacock in Domestic Life, The Cricket Festival, The Bears Ball, The Mosquitos Journey to Brazil, The Cat Concert, Reception at the Water Kings Palace, Think Before You Speak, and others. Not limiting himself to creating such drawings, Mulready initially painted portraits and landscapes, although neither of them, apparently, was his true calling. In 1809, he exhibited his first seriously worked genre paintings: The Carpenters Workshop and Return from the Tavern. From that time on, he created numerous works in which, in addition to a deep understanding of the world of children and love for it, his rare ability to depict events intelligently, truthfully, dramatically, and to imbue the characters on stage with great expressiveness is expressed. The attractiveness of his paintings is enhanced by excellent drawing and pleasant colors. The most famous among them are: Little Brother, Fording the Stream, The Childrens School (located in the London National Gallery, as well as Return from the Tavern), Lazy Children, Interrupted Duel, Target, Sharing Breakfast, First Love, Choosing Fabric for a Wedding Dress, The Wolf and the Lamb, Interior of an English Hut, Barber Shop, Bather, Moving Across the Fjord, Life is a Theater, and Toy Seller. In addition, Mulreadys illustrations for The Vicar of Wakefield (1840) are noteworthy, some scenes from which he also reproduced in paintings using oil paints. His studies of the human body were purchased by the English government and used as teaching aids in art schools. http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9C%D1%8E%D0%BB%D1%8C%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%B8,_%D0%A3%D0%B8%D0%BB%D1%8C%D1%8F%D0%BC
