William Edward Frost

1810 – 1877

English painter, a follower of William Etty, and like him, was one of the few painters in England to dedicate himself to the nude. He was encouraged by his parents to take up painting after showing an early talent for art. He was put to study under a local artist, a Miss Evatt, and at age 15 was introduced to Etty, by whose advice he was sent to Sass's School in Bloomsbury.
