A4960/2

Engraved print (small) of a painting by Benjamin West RA, depicting the 'Angels appearing to the Shepherds'; tiny image from a book/ magazine; the painting apparently hung in Chatham old church during the 19th century. Picture taken from a book or magazine and mounted on card. Note on reverse says that this image is taken from the painting by Benjamin West, but in fact doesn't really resemble it at all - inspired by, perhaps?

Benjamin West, RA (1738-1820, original artist), J (engraver) Shury

late 18th/ early 19th century
