Duffield was fond of drawing when a boy and became a pupil of George Lance, the celebrated still life painter. He studied at the Royal Academy Schools and excelled in the painting of dead game, flowers, etc. Unfortunately he lost the sense of smell, and, painting in his room from a dead deer, was unaware of its dangerous state of putrefaction, and contracted an illness of which he died.
