H. Hussey Medieval Queen from a Monumental Brass

An original c.1830s pen & ink drawing, H. Hussey, Medieval Queen from a Monumental Brass.

A remarkably fine ink line drawing by H. Hussey, copied from a medieval sepulchral brass.

The Hussey family were related to the Twopenny family of Kent. An associated inscription (see photo) gives the provenance of this drawing, given to Mary Twopenny by her cousin David at Little Casterton in 1832. David Twopenny, commoner at Oriel College, Oxford and lifelong Vicar of Stockbury in Kent, was a collector of art (a sale of his collection at Christie’s included an extensive collection of fine engravings after Turner). David's niece Charlotte, the daughter of William Twopeny, Esq., of Rochester, married the Rev William Hussey, Rector of Sandhurst.
