Life
Portrait of the surgeon Edward Rigby (Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital)
Clover was born in 1779 in the small Norfolk town of Aylsham, where he was christened on 19 September by his parents Thomas and Ann Clover.[1] He started his career as an engraver, but was, according to the Norfolk Tour, advised to give up etching.[2] He was inspired to turn to portrait painting when a portraitist painted Clover's uncle. He lived in both Norwich and London.[3]
