Description: | This large portrait shows the Newcastle artist and wood-engraver Thomas Bewick (1753-1828), who was famous for his studies of birds and animals. Copies of his books are shown on the table behind him. Bewick liked the painting and called it a 'grand portrait'. It was painted by his friend, the Newcastle artist William Nicholson. Nicholson exhibited the portrait in Edinburgh to advertise his skill when he moved there in 1814. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1814 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | William Nicholson | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
