His younger brother Henry Macbeth, later Macbeth-Raeburn (1860–1947) was also an artist. ==Life== Macbeth studied in London, producing realistic everyday scenes and working for ''The Graphic'' magazine. He painted in the Lincolnshire and Somerset countryside, in works influenced by those of George Hemming Mason and Frederick Walker. His ''The Cast Shoe'' was bought by the Chantrey Bequest in 1890, and is now at Tate Britain.

There were also exhibitions in the regions at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists in Birmingham, the Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh, the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts, the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool and Manchester Art Gallery.
