Muirhead Bone was born on March 23, 1876 in Glasgow. His parents were the journalist David Drummond Bone and his wife, Elizabeth Millar Crawford.
He studied architecture and attended the evening classes of the Glasgow School of Art.
He made several paintings at this time and studied the etchings of Meryon, Whistler, and Haden. In 1899 he issued a portfolio, Etchings of Glasgow. Bone moved to London in 1901, and two years later an exhibition of his work attracted the attention of art collectors. One of his great dry points, The Demolition of St. James's Hall (1905), demonstrated his capacity for rendering a building with scaffolding in great harmonies of line and with a thorough knowledge of its structure. Other examples of his unrivaled mastery of dry point are Ayr Prison, The Great Gantry, Building, and Spanish Good Friday. His drawings in pencil, sepia, and charcoal also are of the highest quality. During World War I Bone was an official artist at the Western Front and with the fleet. He was knighted in 1937. He died on October 21, 1953, in Oxford, England.
