Catherine Blake

Catherine Blake is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Fitzwilliam Museum.

Tempera painter Catherine Blake made delicate portraits like Agnes, a woman shown in soft light against a plain background. The style belongs to the early 1800s, when artists valued clear, careful brushwork and modest poses. Tap Agnes to see how light and shadow play across a calm face, or look for more portraits from the same period in the gallery.
