Edward Hargrave

Edward Hargrave is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

British printmakers in the 1830s often turned famous faces into small, collectible portraits. Edward Hargrave etched Sophie Arnold’s likeness on paper in 1837, giving us a crisp window into the period’s popular prints. The portrait shows Arnold in profile, her hair curled close to her head and a high-collared dress hugging her shoulders. Look for the artist’s initials tucked near the bottom margin.
