About the artist
Patrick followed in his family's creative footsteps, dabbling in painting and poetry. He was also the brother to well known authors Charlotte, Emily, and Anne. Despite his artistic ventures, Patrick also worked in various roles, including a stint as a tutor. In 1838, he tried to carve out a professional identity as a portrait painter in Bradford, but the venture was unfortunately unsuccessful.
Patrick's life took a tragic turn as he fell victim to drug and alcohol addiction, exacerbated by a doomed relationship with a married woman. At just 31, Patrick's life was cut short, likely due to tuberculosis worsened by delirium tremens, alcoholism, and an addiction to laudanum and opium.
