Drawings of artists by Charles West Cope, circa 1862


19 Portraits in set

Most of the these pencil and pen and ink drawings are of individual artists at work and general views of the Royal Academy schools; Cope was a visitor at the school of painting and the life school from 1861 to 1866, between which dates most of the sketches were executed. They were later acquired by J.P. Heseltine, an artist and friend of Cope, and the former mounted the drawings in a leather-bound album, which is inscribed 'In Memorium'.
