Scraps: British Sporting Drawings from the Paul Mellon Collection at the VMFA, Richmond

PLEASE NOTE TIME CHANGES:

Wed-Sat 10am-4pm, Sun 12-4pm

This exhibition takes its title from Henry Alken’s series of drawings and prints that depict varied and often-humorous episodes of sporting and country life. Unlike the more formal, traditional scenes represented in commissioned paintings, these works allowed artists to indulge a personal vision of animals, sport, and country pursuits they encountered and observed directly.
