His father was Sir William Beechey RA (1753-1839), an eminent painter and Royal Academician, who - in addition to being a fine portraitist - was also an accomplished marine artist whose works included illustrations of ports and a variety of naval scenes. His mother, Lady Beechey, who also showed at the Royal Academy, was a talented miniaturist. His brother was the celebrated sea captain Frederick William Beechey
