Thomas Kirk (artist)

Thomas Kirk (1765–1797) was an English artist, book illustrator, and engraver of the late 18th century.

A pupil of Richard Cosway, Kirk exhibited the first of 25 works at the Royal Academy in 1785.

Although he illustrated James Thomson's The Seasons in 1793, he was employed most consistently by Charles Cooke for his editions of celebrated works of literature.

Original drawings by him are rare, often in oval format, and owe much to the influence of Kauffman.
