Haydon's pupils work at large canvases on copies of one of the Raphael cartoons from Hampton Court, which extends across the wall forming a background. A bird with the portrait head of Haydon, wearing hat and spectacles, flies (left to right) in the upper part of the design; he blows a trumpet from which hangs a banner inscribed 'Director of the Public Taste'. On the large cartoon are figures showing Elymas struck by blindness. Behind an unidentified figure, on a board supported by a ladder is Thomas Landseer in profile to the left, wearing a fur trimmed overcoat to the ankles. The central figure is William Bewick, leaning back and sketching at arms length, supporting his arm with his left hand. Standing in profile to the right is Thomas Christmas, laboriously using a compass. He wears large shapeless shoes to imply that he is down at heel. Working at a portfolio which leans against Christmas's canvas, Charles Landseer stands on a board raised on steps, measuring with compasses the design on the cartoon.

[n.d. c.1700]
Engraving, sheet 140 x 90mm (5½ x 3½"). Trimmed within plate and laid on backing sheet.
Bust-length portrait of Increase Mather (1639- 1723), at aged 49, with long hair, wearing skull-cap and bands, within an oval frame and resting on a pedestal. According to 'Proceedings of the Massachusetts Historical Society' (1894), “Mather’s portrait was painted in 1688 during his visit to England, where, as an agent of the Massachusetts Colony, he had gone in the spring of that year. The artist was John vander Spriett (fl. 1690-1700), a Dutch mezzotint engraver of little note, who had studied under Verkolie at Amsterdam, where he had painted a few portraits." Allegedly within a few months after Mather’s portrait was painted in London, it was engraved by Robert White (1645-1703). Reverend Increase Mather was a New England Puritan clergyman who served as the sixth president of Harvard College from 1685 to 1701. During his tenure, which coincided with the notorious Salem witch trials, he was influential in the administration of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He was son of the Rev. Richard Mather and Kathrine Holt Mather.

[Charles Mathews] Mr. Mathews. Portrait of Himself And as Representing Four Extraordinary Characters. That this Print may not be mistaken for a collection of subjects merely Theatrical, it has been deemed expedient to accompany it by a short explanation of its object. _ The characters introduced are all taken from the life. _ The principal figure is an Idiot amusing himself with a fly: _ The next o him a Drunken Ostler, (introduced in 'Killing no Murder'.) _ The third an extraordinary fat man whose manners and appearance suggested the idea of Mr. Wiggins, in the face of that name: _ And the last Fond Barney, a character well known on the York Race course. _ The intention of the Artist is to present a portrait of Mr. Mathews as Studying those characters for imitation, preserving at the same time his likeness, as varied in the representation of each.
