Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Sir Francis Leggatt Chantrey NPG 654

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Sir Francis Leggatt Chantrey

This drawing was probably made the year Chantrey terminated his apprenticeship and set up a studio in Sheffield 'taking portraits in crayon and miniatures', and before he had access to the camera lucida. He had been taught to use pastel and chalks by his friend, the artist John Raphael Smith, who also introduced him to the radical John Horne Tooke, Chantrey's first important subject. On moving to London, Chantrey chose to focus on sculpture.
