Edward Gibson (painter)

Edward Gibson (1668/9–1701) was an English portrait painter and draughtsman.

He commenced painting portraits in oil, but subsequently found more employment in crayons.

In this line he "showed some genius", says Lionel Cust, and was making "great progress" when he died in January 1701 in his thirty-third year.

He resided in Catherine Street, Strand, and was buried at Richmond, Surrey.

[3] He drew his own portrait in crayons twice, in one dressed as a Chinese, in the other as a Quaker.
