Details are given introducing the known biographical context of Hooke's artistic work in the artistic and scientific realms. Commentary is offered identifying the key features of Hooke's work. Suggestions are also given asserting that a figural drawing from the Tate Britain museum's collection is likely a work by Hooke. Conclusions are given reflecting on the implications of such artistic works on the overall legacy of the scholar. [Mentions Ralph Thoresby].
