Samuel Smith (fl. 1800 - fl. 1840)
RA Collection: Art
A pencil drawing or tracing showing a standing female figure in profile, wearing classical drapery. This appears to have been traced or copied from a print.
Samuel Smith was a porcelain painter who worked for the company of Flight, Barr and Barr in Worcester. John Homes Smith and his son John Halphead Smith who collected these drawings also worked as porcelain painters and it is almost certain that they knew, or were perhaps related to, Samuel Smith.
