Walter Duncan (1847-1932) ARWS was a British painter and watercolorist.
Walter Duncan was born in London in 1847 to the Royal Academy artist Edward Duncan RWS and his wife Berthia, the daughter of British marine painter William John Huggins. His older brother was the artist Allan Duncan (1844-1925). Walter Duncan studied at the Heatherley School of Fine Art before entering the Royal Academy Schools. In 1874 he was elected an Associate of the Royal Watercolour Society [1] and his paintings from then on bear the initials A.R.W.S. beneath his signature. [2] Although principally a watercolourist - he exhibited 224 paintings at the RWS - Walter Duncan also painted in oils, though examples are rare.
In 1871 he married Harriet Charlotte Condy (1846-1880), the daughter of the painter Nicholas Matthews Condy. In 1883, after her death, he married Elizabeth Sophia Anne Haase Child Gascoyne, the daughter of an officer stationed in the North-Western Provinces. This led to a two-year stay in India. [1]
