| Richard Cosway Mrs. Lowther c. 1780 Victoria & Albert Museum |
Richard Cosway (1742-1821) was prominent in England painting portrait miniatures during the years when Jane Austen was busy writing courtship novels. Several pf his pieces are preserved at the Victoria & Albert Museum. Encountering Cosway's work propelled me into another episode of miniature immersion. These are the first fruits of that unregulated passion.
