Samuel McCloy was born in Lisburn and apprenticed under James and Thomas Smyth engravers in Belfast. McCloy
worked for sometime in Belfast and later London until he was appointed Master of the Waterford School of Art in 1853.
He exhibited occasionally with the RHA between 1862 and 1882. In his latter years McCloy returned to London where he
contributed works to several exhibitions before his death in Balham in 1904. Strickland lists his work in the collection of
the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Belfast Art Gallery. See Strickland Vol. II, p.55-56. A similar picture to this, entitled
Happy Hours, was sold at Whyte’s as lot 13 on 29 November 2010.
