"Sketch of Robin Hood" is a drawing by the British artist Richard Dadd (1817–1886), known for his detailed and often fantastical works. Dadd created this particular sketch during a period when he was prolific in producing fairy and supernatural-themed paintings, which have since become his most celebrated works. The sketch likely dates from the mid-19th century, a time when Dadd was also grappling with severe mental health issues that eventually led to his confinement in psychiatric hospitals.

The artwork depicts the legendary English folk hero Robin Hood, a character who has been the subject of literary and artistic interpretation for centuries. Robin Hood is traditionally portrayed as an outlaw who steals from the rich and gives to the poor, and Dadd's rendition contributes to this rich tapestry of visual representations. The sketch is characterized by Dadd's attention to detail and his unique style, which often included intricate patterns and whimsical elements even in more straightforward subject matter.

Richard Dadd is perhaps best known for his painting "The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke," which he completed while in the Bethlem Royal Hospital, also known as Bedlam. His works are considered significant within the Victorian era's art scene, particularly within the genre of fairy painting, which was popular at the time. "Sketch of Robin Hood" would be of interest to scholars of Dadd's work and those studying the visual culture surrounding the Robin Hood legend.

As an artist whose life was marked by tragedy and brilliance, Dadd's works, including "Sketch of Robin Hood," are often analyzed not only for their aesthetic value but also for what they reveal about the artist's state of mind and the Victorian society's attitudes towards mental illness and creativity.

The sketch is held in a collection, museum, or private ownership, and it has been referenced in various studies on Richard Dadd's art. It serves as an example of the artist's engagement with popular English folklore and his ability to infuse traditional subjects with his distinctive artistic voice.
