These rare, early biblical subjects by Richmond show the influence of William Blake as well as a knowledge of Italian 16th Century Mannerist prints and those of Dürer. These two studies would have been drawn when he was spending time with Samuel Palmer and the group known as the Ancients at Shoreham in Kent.
