He worked for a while in Paris before returning to London. Wirgman produced a series of portraits for Graphic magazine, and continued to draw and paint portraits thereafter, including producing a series of illustrations of British sculptors for Century magazine. As well as portraits, Wirgman also painted contemporary and historical genre subjects.
