Thomas Parkinson ( born 10 December 1744, Oxford, died c. 1789) was a British portrait-painter. He became a student in the schools of the Royal Academy in 1772.[1]
Parkinson was known as a painter of theatrical figures and groups. He also practised regularly as a portrait-painter, and exhibited portraits at the Free Society of Artists in 1769 and 1770, and at the Royal Academy from 1773 to 1789. Some of these were engraved, including:[3]
Mr. Shuter, with Mr. Quick and Mrs. Green, in a scene from "She stoops to conquer" (engraved by Robert Laurie, 1776);
A Scene from Cymon (Royal Academy, 1773);
A Scene from The Duenna (Royal Academy, 1774);
Garrick led off the Stage by Time with Tragedy and Comedy (engraved by Robert Laurie, 1779).
A number of Parkinson's small theatrical portraits were engraved. Some of the original drawings for these went to the Burney collection of theatrical portraits in the print-room at the British Museum.[3]
