Biography

Mullins was born at

Royal Academy Schools from 1967.[3] In 1868 he won a gold medal in the National Art Competition for a model from the antique.[3] Mullins was sponsered at the Royal Academy Schools by the sculptor John Birnie Philip and subsequently worked for him as an assistant before moving to Munich where he studied under Michael Wagmüller and also shared a studio with Edward Onslow Ford.[3][4] In 1872 he won a silver medal at Munich and a bronze at Vienna for his work Sympathy.[2]

Mullins returned to London around 1874. There, he created sculptures of neo-classical figures and portrait busts and statuettes and was, for a time, associated with the

Central School of Arts and Crafts in 1897.[3][5] He died in 1907 at Walberswick in Suffolk.[1]
