Richard Cosway (5 November 1742 4 July 1821) was a leading English portrait painter—more accurately a miniaturist—of the Regency era.
Such was his success, that still not 30, Cosway was elected one of the founder members of the Royal Academy (he is included in a group portrait of the 1768 founders, though some accounts suggest he was appointed an Academician three years later, in 1771).
On 18 January 1781, Cosway married talented Anglo-Italian artist Maria Hadfield (also a composer, musician and authority on girls' education, and much admired by Thomas Jefferson).
