[London, 1801.]
Rare etching, 18th century watermark. 255 x 205mm (10 x 8"), with large margins.
A wasted young man with bare torso lying on a straw bed in an impoverished interior, looking up to the ceiling, his head bandaged; two mice, a spoon and a plate on the floor. He is lit from a window upper left. The plate was used to illustrate 'Juvenilia, or a Collection of poems' by James Henry Leigh Hunt. The artist, Raphael Lamar West (1769-1850), is said to have been inspired by the story of Thomas Chatterton (1752-70), a poet who spent his last months in poverty in a London attic before committing suicide at the age of 17. Chatterton's life and work had a powerful effect on the Romantic imagination; witness Wordsworth's tribute: 'the marvellous boy, The sleepless soul, that perished in his pride'. Raphael Lamar West, painter and lithographer, was the son of Benjamin West.
