On Tuesday 6 May, Susan Owens will give the 2025 Milein Cosman Lecture on the art of drawing, at the Slade School of Fine Art (where Milein Cosman studied in the 1940s).

Dr Owens’s lecture Places of the Mind, Portraits of the Soul will look at the role of drawing in soul-searching and taking stock — examining in particular the way in which the artists Jonathan Richardson (1667-1745) and John Constable (1776-1837) both used drawing to pursue projects of intense introspection.
