Description

Cousins produced dozens of portrait mezzotints during his career. This print, the last one he ever engraved, reproduces his portrait painted by Edwin Long. The print shows Cousins in the act of preparing a mezzotint plate by scraping it with a rocker. In the lower margin, other printmaking tools are visible, some of which can also be seen on display in this exhibition.

The original oil painting of this portrait is in the collection at RAMM and can be viewed on the Collections Explorer website https://rammcollections.org.uk .
