Alexander Brownlie Docharty

Joseph Docharty was a designer of calico prints; Alexander left school at the age of thirteen to join his father.

He studied part-time at the Glasgow School of Art,[1] attending Robert Greenlees' evening classes.

In 1878 Docharty's watercolour On The Cart- Pollockshaws was exhibited at the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts.

He left that firm some time before 1885, when he was based at James Docharty's studio in Bath Street, Glasgow.

Docharty moved to Paris in 1894 to study at the Academie Julien under Benjamin Constant and Jean-Paul Laurens.
