Joseph Samuel Webster

Joseph Samuel Webster (died 6 July 1796)[1] was an English portrait painter who worked in miniatures, oils, pastels, and crayons.

[3] Between 1762 and 1780, while living in Covent Garden, he was exhibiting miniatures and crayons at the Society of Artists of Great Britain, and in 1763 his work also appeared in the Free Society.

In 1769 the Society of Artists paid him for some of his work which had been destroyed in a fire.

[4] He was still working about 1790, the estimated date of his portrait of Sir Levett Hanson.

[4][7] The issue for September marked the death of this Webster by printing an engraving of him by James Basire.
