Mrs Dundas-Portrait Engraving- John Cochran-after Henry
Perronet Briggs
The sitter for this elegant portrait engraving is Sophia,
Mrs. Dundas, Countess of Zetland. It was executed by Scottish painter and
printmaker John Cochran (active 1821–1865) after a design by British historical
and portrait painter Henry Perronet Briggs (1793–1844). It was published by
Edward Churton (1812–1885), most likely in the 1830s.
Cochran was known for his portrait engravings in the
stipple technique, and his works are held in many major collections, including
the National Portrait Gallery. A proof of this print is also held in the
British Museum.
This current impression is in good condition with slight discoloration
due to its age.
