Artist
Maria Cosway
Maria Cosway is a Romanticism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Maria Cosway made delicate drawings of faces and figures in the late 1700s, working mostly in pencil and chalk. Two of her surviving sheets sit in this bundle: a Study of a Female Head and an Untitled drawing from the 1780s. Both show softly shaded faces that feel close enough to touch. Tap Study of a Female Head to zoom in on the gentle curves and quiet mood of her hand.
