Raphael Lamar West

Raphael Lamar West is represented here by a small group of landscape sheets that place him within the British Romantic tradition of the late eighteenth century. His subjects are wooded and rocky terrain, often anchored by a single tree or a lone figure such as a bandit, drawn in graphite, black and white chalk, and pen and brown ink. The collection holds three works dating from 1795 to 1800, with techniques ranging from etching to chalk and graphite drawing on coloured paper.
