He studied law, but became far more devoted to ornithology and art. In 1829 he became a Fellow of the Zoological Society of London. In 1843 Cotton migrated with his family (comprising his wife Susanna and nine children) to the Port Phillip District of New South Wales in Australia, now the state of Victoria, and became a pastoralist, continuing his study of birds. He died in 1849, three days before his 48th birthday; his bird paintings were scattered and only a selection has been published.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Cotton_(ornithologist)
