EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the oil painting "Richard Heber, 1782" by John Singleton Copley. The portrait depicts Richard Heber, an English book-collector, as a young child. Standing in a full-length pose, he leans against a landscape backdrop with an air of confidence and poise. Dressed in a shirt with ruffles and breeches adorned with buckles, Richard holds a cricket bat or paddle in his hand. The presence of this sport equipment suggests his active engagement in ball games during that era. The artist skillfully captures the innocence and charm of childhood through Richard's youthful features and playful expression. The painting is housed at the Yale Center for British Art as part of the esteemed Paul Mellon Collection. This particular print was expertly captured by Derek Bayes, who has preserved every intricate detail with precision. Through this artwork, viewers are transported back to eighteenth-century America where they can appreciate both the artistic mastery of Copley and gain insight into the life of Richard Heber. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of portraiture in capturing not only physical likeness but also glimpses into personal stories and historical contexts.
