Leitch, William Leighton (1804-83; Scottish)

Works included in this catalogue
Leitch Italian scene 1876 {1904} NGV [WT]
Leitch Dunglass on Clyde 1879 {1891} NGV [WT]
Willmore (J.) after Leitch Villa of Lucullus at Misenum 1851 {1868} NGV [PR]

Leitch, an accomplished watercolourist, served as drawing master to Queen Victoria and her family for some years. Mallalieu observes, drily: “his work is pleasant, and competent, but in no way original.”
