Frederick Goodall's first professional commission came at the age of 16, from the great Victorian engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Whilst still in his mid-20s he was already one of the most critically acclaimed and financially successful painters in Britain. Between 1838 and 1902 Frederick Goodall exhibited at all the principal London venues, most prominently at the Royal Academy on 165 occasions. In 1852 he was elected an Associate of the Royal Academy and a full Royal Academician.
