William Linnell

Willian Linnell (1826 in London, England – 1906) was a British painter and draftsmen. He was the son of the painter John Linnell (1792-1882).[1]

Linnell is particularly noted for his 1840 drawing of Smugglerius, which is an écorché sculpture of a man posed in imitation of the ancient Roman sculpture known as the Dying Gaul.[2]

His work is held in the permanent collection of the Fitzwilliam Museum at Cambridge University, the Tate Museum in London, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C..[3][4]
