Richard Earlom

Richard Earlom is represented here by a small group of engravings and mezzotints, alongside a sheet combining watercolour, graphite and black ink, that place him within the reproductive printmaking tradition of eighteenth-century Britain. His subjects range from portrait heads and figure studies to compositions after Old Masters such as Rubens, often preserved in collectors' mounts. The collection holds two works, dated by the Met across a wide span that includes impressions up to 1782, well after the artist's lifetime.
