For a loosely associated work by George Richmond, albeit in a reproductive medium, see the line engraving 'The Shepherd' (see Tate, ref.: N04064) similarly see the wood-engravings by Edward Calvert, the artist arguably closest to Blake Richmond's aesthetic in this drawing, and the Virgil woodcuts by William Blake.
