Arthur Pond

Pond was also a prolific etcher, and used various mixed processes of engraving by means of which he imitated or reproduced the works of masters such as Rembrandt, Raphael, Salvator Rosa, Parmigiano, Caravaggio, and the Poussins.

Another of his productions was a series of twenty-five caricatures after Pier Leone Ghezzi, republished in 1823 and 1832 as Eccentric Characters.

Knapton's brother, Charles Knapton (1700–1760), was also an artist and, together with Arthur Pond (1705?-1758), published a book Imitations of the Italian Masters (1735), which contained many engravings by himself, mainly of works by Guercino.
