Biography: Younger son of Lord William Russell (1767-1840, q.v.). Trustee of the National Gallery. Collected paintings, drawings and prints, especially chiaroscuro woodcuts. The BM purchased a group of 255 of his woodcuts through Colnaghi in 1860, of which 16 were Japanese. Much of the rest was sold at Christie's, 2-6 March 1863. Many of the best drawings were sold by Russell's son to Léon Bonnat; others were purchased by Alphonse Thibaudeau. Another sale in Paris in March or April 1884. Russell died the following September and the remainder of the collection was sold at Christie's in December 1884.
