His father was a glove maker, and the extended Watkins family included many artists. The artist studied at the Royal Dublin Society drawing schools, where he was awarded prizes for figure drawing in 1847 and 1848. From the 1850s onwards, Watkins spent much of his time travelling around Ireland, visiting different counties in all four provinces. This is reflected in his landscape paintings, which depict the rural and mountainous Irish landscape in a Romantic style.In his ‘Dictionary of Irish ArtistsÂ’ (1913), Walter Strickland notes that Watkins was a slow worker he carefully built up his pictures, working upon and finishing small portions before he touched the rest’. In 1891, Watkins caught a severe cold during a sketching trip to Kerry, leading to fatal congestion of the lungs. Watkins died in Upper Lauragh, Co. Kerry, and was buried in Mount Jerome Cemetery, Dublin."
