Abstract
- The article highlights Joshua Reynolds's earliest drawings. The earliest account of Reynolds's drawings is provided in Edmond Malone's biography of 1797. He was for sometime instructed in the classics, but his artistic inclination for the art began to manifest itself. Reynolds's first drawings were made from copying different pictures. When he was eight, he read with interest "The Jesuit's Perspective," a book which happened to lie on the window seat of his father's shop. He attempted to draw the School at Plympton, wherein his father commented that he did a good job.
