HUTTON, DAVID CON (1843-1910) was born in Dundee, Scotland, educated there, and proceeded to the School of Art, where he gained a free studentship and in 1859 was appointed an art pupil-teacher. He continued his studies in modelling, and published his freehand drawing series. In 1863 he gained an art master's certificate, and in 1865 was appointed art master at the Perth School of Art. Early in 1870 he arrived in Otago (in the Christian McCausland) as drawing master under the Otago provincial government, and he forthwith established the School of Art in Dunedin, of which he was principal till his death (on 20 Oct 1910). Hutton married (1872) a daughter of A. Douglas, Edinburgh.
