After the war he joined his father’s stockbroking firm there, Porter, Millard and Irvine.
In 1947 Horsbrugh-Porter, as Eric Porter, published Saturn’s Child, a fairly racy novel based on the life of the Spanish painter Goya, which was translated into several languages. He showed at RHA, 1926–52, also at Cooling Galleries, RA, NEAC, ROI and elsewhere. His most successful works, sometimes commissioned and known in the family as his “grassy pictures”, gave a worm’s eye view of meadows of vetch, ladybirds, and so on.
