A few weeks back, I came across a set of drawings by artist #IsabellaHedley. The drawings we look at this week were created in 1836. We will look at another set next chapter, which were drawn in 1837. I have found little information about Isabella Hedley.
– after Samuel Prout?
The drawings may be from Isabella’s tutoring, for most of them are images created by #SamuelProut for ‘Rudiments of Landscape in Progressive Studies. Drawn, and Etched in Imitation of Chalk’- collection of soft ground etchings published by Rudolph Ackermann c.1813. The pieces display a good hand and fine eye for copying.
The works are done in graphite and are of a rural landscape scenes from England and Wales.
Isabella Hedley, whomever she may have been, was a fine artist. Hopefully, she will be remembered as such.
