R.H. Cooke is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

R.H. Cooke made small prints of people in the early 1800s. In Miss Tyrer, a woman sits calmly with a book or letter in her lap, dressed in the simple lines of Regency fashion. These portraits show ordinary subjects with quiet dignity, far from grand history scenes.

Look for the way light falls on her face and sleeve, gentle, unforced. Tap Miss Tyrer to see the whole print up close.
