His father was William Lance, who served in a regiment of cavalry and later became Inspector of the Bow Street Mounted Patrol. His mother, Louisa Lucy Constable, with whom his father had run away from boarding school, was the daughter of Colonel Constable of Beverley in Yorkshire.Although Lance showed a predilection for art from an early age, he was placed, not yet fourteen, in a factory in Leeds. The work, however, damaged his health and he returned to London. One day, upon entering the British Museum, he casually struck up a conversation with Charles Landseer, who happened to be there drawing. Having learned that Landseer was a pupil of Benjamin Haydon, he went early the following morning to the painter's residence and asked to become his pupil. Haydon replied that if his designs promised future success, he would educate him free of charge. Not many days later Lance, not yet fourteen, entered Haydon's studio and remained there for seven years, simultaneously studying in the schools of the Royal Academy.While designing a painting inspired by Homer's Iliad, he decided to paint some fruits and vegetables as a test. This work attracted the attention of Sir George Beaumont, who purchased it, and the success prompted him to paint another still life work, which he sold to the Earl of Shaftesbury. He later painted two fruit baskets for the Duke of Bedford as decorations for a summer house at Woburn Abbey, and his work proved so profitable that he decided to turn to still life painting.He began to exhibit in 1824, when he sent “A Fruit Boy” to the British Institution and “The Mischievous Boy” and two still lifes to the Society of British Artists. In 1828 he exhibited for the first time at the Royal Academy, showing a still life with a quote from Samuel Butler's "Hudibras" attachedHis drawing Portrait of Emily Augusta Patmore (c. 1834) is now held in the collection of the British Museum.Although he gained fame primarily as a painter of fruit and flowers, Lance occasionally produced historical and genre works, and his painting of "Melanchthon's First Perplexities Concerning the Church of Rome" won the Liverpool Academy Prize in 1836. His works appeared most frequently in British Institution exhibitions, to which he contributed 135 paintings; he also sent 48 works to the Society of British Artists and 38 to the Royal Academy.
