William Cheselden.
by Jonathan Richardson.
1720's or 1730's.
140 x 118 mm.
This portrait is of the anatomist and eminent surgeon
William Cheselden, who was one of the closest friends of the artist, Jonathan
Richardson. It is one of a series of small chalk and graphite drawings of
friends and acquaintances that Richardson made in his retirement. Some of these
images were drawn from memory and together, they represent a sustained project
in recording friendships across Richardson's whole life. Drawing was the
perfect medium for this project as it allowed Richardson to produce a large
number of images quickly and was closely associated with friendship and
intimacy.
