Andrew Carrick Gow

In 1900, he visited Egypt and he used his sketches to compose a scene representing the death of the Mahdi soon after the defeat of his troops by Colonel Wingate in 1898.

In later life, he became Keeper of the Royal Academy and died there on 1 February 1920 at the age of 72. He was buried on the western side of Highgate Cemetery.

Gow's sister, Mary Gow, was also an artist.
