Artist

Jonathan Richardson

Jonathan Richardson is an Impressionism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

English portrait draftsman Richardson turned his eye on faces at the turn of the 1700s, leaving behind dozens of etched plates like the “H Beard Print Collection” prints—sharp, spare likenesses of men and women in lace and periwigs. His line is steady, the shadows shallow, the expressions readable in an instant. Slide next to the 1875 “H Beard Print Collection” plate to see how later engravers kept his style alive.
