GLASS, James W., artist, born in 1825 ; died in 1857. He became a pupil of Huntington in New York City in 1845, and went to London two years later, where he applied himself to art for several years, returning to the United States in 1856. His "Last Return from Duty," an equestrian portrait of the Duke of Wellington, brought him first into prominence in England. It was purchased by Lord Ellesmere, and a duplicate was ordered by the queen. The subject has been engraved by James Faed. He was particularly successful in his drawing of horses. His works include "The Battle of Naseby," " The Royal Standard," " Puritan and Cavalier," and "The Free Companion."
