William Osborne was born in Dublin in February 1823 and was twenty-one years of age when he entered the Royal Hibernian Academy as a student. He began exhibiting at the RHA in 1851 with three works, a portrait of a Terrier Dog, a watercolour of a Boy and another of a Girl from an address in Pleasants Street in Dublin. He became a Member in 1868 and exhibited almost every year up to his death. Strickland notes that Osborne devoted himself to the painting of animals, chiefly dogs and horses, which he loved and thoroughly understood.
His son, Walter eclipsed the father as a painter and sadly only outlived him by a couple of years.
