This drawing is from Thomas Baxter’s 1810 publication, An Illustration of the Egyptian, Grecian, and Roman costume: in forty outlines, with descriptions, which he dedicated to Henry Fuseli, who was the Academy’s Professor in Painting and its Keeper, and Baxter’s tutor while he studied at the RA Schools. A china painter as well as an engraver, Baxter said the inspiration for his compositions came from imagery found in pieces from Herculaneum (a Roman town destroyed by a volcano in 79AD) and other ancient sites.
