Painting Description
"Eton Scholar" is a historical print from the "History of Eton College" series, which forms part of the larger work "History of the Colleges." Engraved by J. Agar, it was published in 1816 by R. Ackermann and features the artwork of Thomas Uwins. The print depicts a student from Eton College, a prestigious independent boarding school for boys in Eton, Berkshire, England, which was founded in 1440 by King Henry VI. Uwins' illustration captures the essence of an Eton scholar during the early 19th century, providing insight into the attire, posture, and academic environment of the time.
Thomas Uwins (1782–1857) was a notable British painter and illustrator who became the Keeper of the National Gallery, London. His works often included genre scenes and illustrations that reflected social and educational settings. The engraver, J. Agar, contributed to the reproduction of Uwins' original artwork, allowing for wider dissemination of the image through the medium of print.
"History of the Colleges" is a comprehensive collection that documents various aspects of British educational institutions during the period. R. Ackermann's publication is significant for its detailed portrayal of college life and architecture, offering a valuable resource for historians and enthusiasts of British educational history. The "Eton Scholar" print is an important visual document that not only reflects the artistic style of the era but also serves as a historical record of student life at one of Britain's most renowned schools.
