Isabella Hedley, part two

Posted on 30/11/2024 by ronald972

We return to Isabella Hedley and her drawings. Once again, we see quite a competent artist producing good quality works.

Cottage at Hastings – drawing by Isabella Hedley after Paul Sandby Munn @ 1837

A number of these drawings come from the drawing course, which was published by SamuelProut.

Fisherman’s Hut, Isle of Wight – drawing by Isabella Hedley @ 1837
Near Plymouth – drawing by Isabella Hedley after Samuel Prout @ 1837

We also see two drawings from European sites.

At Wurtzburg – drawing by Isabella Hedley after Samuel Prout @ 1837
St Margaret’s Chapel, Glastonbury  – drawing by Isabella Hedley after Samuel Prout @ 1837

Also, in this set of drawings from 1837, there are two landscape scenes focusing on trees. These two images may be Isabella’s own works for her tutor/drawing class since I have been unable to find images of them.

Fir Tree near Sir William Long’s house, Kempston, Bedfordshire  – drawing by Isabella Hedley @ 1837

Again, all of these drawings show a fine artistic eye and a very fine technique.
