Hans Keller and Milein Cosman were closely associated with Benjamin Britten from the 1940s until Britten’s death, producing a huge volume of writings and drawings relating to his works. This sketch of Britten by Milein Cosman is one of many drawings of him held in the collection of her work at the Royal College of Music Museum.
