The Scottish sculptor and draughtsman William Calder Marshall was born in Edinburgh on 18 March 1813. He was educated the city's Royal High School and he studied at Edinburgh University. He decided to be a sculptor and studied under Chantrey and Baily in Rome and he also joined the Royal Academy School. He worked in Edinburgh but moved to London in 1839. In 1857 he won first prize for his design for a national monument to the Duke of Wellington but this was then entrusted to Alfred Stevens. He was honoured by the French government for services in connection with the Paris International Exhibition in 1878. His work included a bronze statue of Sir Robert Peel (1853) commissioned for Manchester, a marble statue for Capetown, Sir George Grey (1862), The prodigal son (1881), and the set Agriculture on the Albert Memorial. His work is also represented in the Palace of Westminister, Westminster Abbey, Kensington Gardens, Arbroath, Bolton, Coventry, and Leicester Square.
