An Album of Drawings and Watercolours, Including A Study For 'The Boyhood Of King Alfred' (illustrated), And Various Figural And Animal Studies is a notable collection of artworks by the distinguished English painter and illustrator Richard Westall (1765–1836). Westall, who was a prolific artist during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, is renowned for his historical, literary, and genre scenes, as well as his portraiture. He was an influential figure in the art world of his time, serving as a Royal Academician and as the drawing master to Princess Victoria, the future Queen Victoria.

This particular album is a testament to Westall's versatility and skill across various mediums and subjects. It includes a study for one of his well-known historical paintings, 'The Boyhood of King Alfred,' which depicts the early life of Alfred the Great, the ninth-century king of Wessex who is celebrated for his defense against Viking invasions and his contributions to the cultural and legal foundations of England. The study offers insight into Westall's preparatory process, showcasing his ability to capture narrative and character through detailed sketches and watercolours.

In addition to the historical study, the album features a diverse array of figural and animal studies. These works highlight Westall's keen observational skills and his adeptness at rendering the human form and animal subjects with precision and sensitivity. The figural studies likely served as preparatory works for his larger compositions or as exercises in anatomy and expression, while the animal studies reflect his interest in the natural world and his ability to convey movement and vitality.

The album not only provides a glimpse into Westall's artistic practice but also serves as a valuable resource for understanding the broader context of British art during his lifetime. It exemplifies the artistic trends and techniques of the period, as well as Westall's personal style and contributions to the art historical canon. Through this collection, viewers can appreciate the depth and breadth of Westall's oeuvre, from his meticulous studies to his finished works, and gain a deeper appreciation for his role in the development of British art.
