William Brown Macdougall

William Brown Macdougall (16 December 1868 – 20 April 1936) was a Scottish artist, wood engraver, etcher and book illustrator.

[1][2] They collaborated with Aubrey Beardsley on many projects and were members of the prestigious New English Art Club.

[3][4] Macdougall received his art education at the Glasgow Academy and at the Académie Julian in Paris, also working in the studios of Bouguereau, Jean-Paul Laurens and Tony Robert-Fleury, and becoming a member of the Salon des Artistes Français.

His work tended to be somewhat sombre and was clearly influenced by Aubrey Beardsley and William Morris.

The British Museum has a collection of 21 prints by Macdougall and other works are held by galleries throughout the UK.
