He worked as a portrait painter in London before he moved to Northampton and then Manchester around 1820. He finally settled in Edinburgh, where he worked as a drawing teacher. In 1833 he started exhibiting both portraits and landscapes at the Royal Scottish Academy. He died in Edinburgh in 1847. His son Arthur Perigal (1816-1884) was a landscape-painter as well.
