Artist

J. Perry

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

This artist made a single surviving print called Cleopatra from 1812. The work shows the Egyptian queen in profile, draped in classical robes next to a palm tree, her hieroglyph-covered obelisk rising behind. The confident linework and shaded mezzotint technique suggest a studio practice rooted in book illustration of the era. Dip into the full print to trace how the light catches the folds of her sleeve.
