Artist

John Dryden

John Dryden is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Catholic University of Leuven.

John Dryden made a single drawing in 1798, a small portrait titled simply “Dryden.” Beyond that sheet of paper, nothing else survives under his name. The drawing sits squarely in late-18th-century British portrait practice, when artists often sketched sitters with quick chalk lines and careful shading.

Tap the drawing to zoom in on the softly modeled face and the faint date tucked into the lower corner.
