Buckner was the son of an army officer[1] and grandson of Admiral Charles Buckner. After a serving in the army, he studied painting under Giovanni Battista Cassevari in Rome.[1]

He first painted miniatures but then changed to painting larger portraits.[1] He exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts between 1842 and 1877[1] and was nominated as a candidate for the academy.[2]

Many engravings based on his works are in the National Portrait Gallery, London.[3] His oil paintings Portrait of a boy[1] and Portrait of a Boy Chorister of the Chapel Royal[4] are in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
