Greyfriars, Richmond is a notable work by the English artist George Cuitt (1779–1854), who is renowned for his landscape and architectural drawings. Cuitt, often referred to as "George Cuitt the Younger" to distinguish him from his father, was a prominent figure in the early 19th-century British art scene. His works are celebrated for their meticulous detail and historical significance, capturing the essence of the British countryside and its architectural heritage.

Greyfriars, Richmond depicts the remnants of the Greyfriars monastery in Richmond, North Yorkshire. The monastery, originally established in the 13th century, was part of the Franciscan order and played a significant role in the religious and social life of the area until its dissolution in the 16th century during the Reformation. Cuitt's rendering of Greyfriars is particularly valued for its historical accuracy and artistic quality, providing a visual record of the site as it appeared in the early 19th century.

Cuitt's technique in Greyfriars, Richmond exemplifies his skill in etching and drawing, characterized by precise lines and a keen eye for architectural detail. The work captures the serene yet melancholic atmosphere of the ruins, surrounded by lush greenery, which contrasts with the decaying stone structures. This juxtaposition highlights the passage of time and the enduring beauty of historical sites, themes that are recurrent in Cuitt's oeuvre.

Greyfriars, Richmond is part of a larger body of work by Cuitt that documents various historical and picturesque locations across England. His contributions to the field of topographical art have been instrumental in preserving the visual history of many significant sites. Today, Cuitt's works, including Greyfriars, Richmond, are held in high regard by art historians and collectors, and they continue to be studied for their artistic and historical value.
