História biográfica
William Griffith was born in England. He taught at the King’s School in Parramatta and then set up his own portrait studio at the Australian Arms Inn. He also created portraits of Richard and Elizabeth Rouse and the Supreme Court judge Sir William Westbrook Burton, as well as several landscapes. His business declined when daguerreotype portraits became popular, and many of his works were destroyed in a fire in 1854.

The portrait was most likely hung in the St James property owned by the Trustees of Thomas Moore's estate, and transferred to the College's Newtown campus in 1891. The portrait was hung in the Dining Room at Moore College, then transferred to the Chapter House of St Andrew's Cathedral in 1961. In 1998, it was loaned to the Southland Museum & Gallery Invercargill, NZ, and returned in 2005. It was stored and fully conserved in 2017. A facsimile of part of the painting hangs in the foyer of 1 King St.
