Artist
Cousins
Cousins is a Romanticism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This British artist made delicate pencil drawings of sitters in the early 1800s. Their surviving pages—like the crisp Portrait of Col. Acland (1820) and the poised Portrait of Lady Harriet Acland—capture military men and their wives with quiet precision. The works sit in a quiet corner of Regency portraiture, where line and shadow do the talking. Next, tap into the drawing’s fine cross-hatching to see how a few strokes build a face.
