William Pratt was a prolific artist, painting a very wide variety of subjects. He was from Glasgow but spent several years in Crail. For two years (1892–1894) he devoted himself to painting the sea and erected a studio on the shore at Kilminning, Crail. He was a master at painting figures and was awarded a bronze medal for his painting, 'The Old Covenanter', in the jurors awards of the Edinburgh Exhibition in 1886. He exhibited 30 pictures in Crail for the benefit of Crail Public Library, including large portraits of Mr and Mrs Cairns of Ashburn House, the subject of this painting. Ashburn House was used as accommodation for WRNS (Women's Royal Navy Service) personnel in the Second World War.
