Renowned for his genre scenes that often depicted the everyday lives of the Irish and Scottish people, Nicol's work is characterized by its detailed realism and subtle humor. "A Willing Pupil" exemplifies these qualities, capturing a moment of interaction between a teacher and a student in a rural setting.

The painting portrays a quaint interior scene where an elderly man, presumably a schoolmaster, is engaged in teaching a young boy. The composition is meticulously detailed, with the interior of the room filled with various objects that add to the narrative and atmosphere of the scene. The expressions and body language of the characters are rendered with great care, highlighting Nicol's skill in conveying emotion and storytelling through his art.

Erskine Nicol was born in Leith, Scotland, in 1825 and became known for his depictions of Irish life, having spent a significant amount of time in Ireland. His works often reflect a deep empathy and understanding of the social conditions of the time, and "A Willing Pupil" is no exception. The painting not only showcases Nicol's technical prowess but also his ability to capture the nuances of human interaction and the importance of education in rural communities.

His works are held in various collections, including the National Gallery of Scotland and other prestigious institutions.
