Richard Beavis (1824–1896) was an English painter born in Exmouth, in the county of Devon. His subjects included landscapes, animals, and rural, military and Orientalist scenes. The charcoal burners (1874), at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, depicts charcoal production. It measures 87 by 124.8 centimetres. This oil on canvas entered the museum in 1904 through the bequest of its owner, Alfred Felton.
The National Portrait Gallery documents his connection with the London supplier Roberson. Beavis appears in the firm’s account books, and supplier marks are recorded on the supports of The charcoal burners and Goats: Outskirts of Cadiz. The latter painting belongs to the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool.
