Artist

Frederick Parsons Shuckard's (1844–1926) best-known work is his 1909 oil painting, 'Queen Victoria Receiving the News of Her Accession at Kensington Palace, 20 June 1837', in the collection of the Museum of London. He was influenced by the academic style of Pre-Raphaelite artist Henry Tanworth Wells RA, and he excelled at painting in a highly detailed realistic manner. Little is known about the life of Stuckard. He studied at the School of Art at South Kensington in 1867, where he received a prize for 'Drawing from life'. He is listed as having worked in Peckham and in Lewisham, London from 1868 to 1901.
