Richard Jennys (active 1766 circa 1800) was an itinerant New England portraitist likely related to William Jennys, active circa 1790-1805).
Richard first appears as the author of a mezzotint of the Reverend Jonathan Mayhew of Boston, Massachusetts in 1766. A mature work, slightly inferior to prints by Peter Pelham, it suggests that Richard may have been trained as an engraver; however, no other prints by him have been found.
In 1783, he was in Charleston, South Carolina, after a t (showing 500 of 1378 characters). |
