"Mr Wackford Squeers and the New Pupil" is a 1924 painting by British artist Harold Copping, known for his illustrations of classic literature. The artwork is inspired by Charles Dickens's novel "Nicholas Nickleby," which was first published in serial form between 1838 and 1839. The painting captures a scene from the novel featuring the character Wackford Squeers, the unscrupulous headmaster of Dotheboys Hall, a boarding school in Yorkshire.

In the painting, Squeers is depicted as he appears in the novel: a cruel and brutal figure who mistreats the children under his care. The "new pupil" referenced in the title is likely to be Nicholas Nickleby himself or another unfortunate child who has just arrived at the school. Copping's work is characterized by its attention to detail and its ability to convey the emotional atmosphere of the scene. The painting would have resonated with audiences familiar with Dickens's work, as it brings to life one of the author's most memorable and villainous characters.

Harold Copping was an accomplished illustrator, and his works often provided visual interpretations of popular literary texts, making them accessible to a broader audience. "Mr Wackford Squeers and the New Pupil" is an example of how art and literature can intersect to enhance the storytelling experience. The painting not only serves as a standalone piece of art but also as a visual companion to Dickens's narrative, offering viewers a glimpse into the grim world of Victorian education and the social issues of the era that Dickens sought to highlight in his writing.
