Henry Copland

Henry Copland is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Henry Copland left only one dated drawing, A Raffle Leaf from around 1760, and that single sheet is all we have to understand what he made. The sheet shows a sprig of ivy or grapevine with careful stippled lines and a light wash, the kind of botanical study artists kept in their studios for reference. It feels like a quiet personal exercise rather than a public display.

Tap into the crisp shadows and fine hatching of A Raffle Leaf to see how 18th-century draftsmen handled light on organic form.
