Richard Cooper was the son of the engraver Richard Cooper (1696 – 1764).  He was born in Edinburgh and trained under his father until 1758.  He then travelled to Paris to study under the French Engraver Jacques-Philippe Le Bas (1707 – 1783).  By 1761 he was living in London and exhibiting drawings and engravings at the Society of Artists.  During the early 1760s he toured Spain and in 1771 he went to Italy, but by 1786 he had returned to England to take up the position of drawing master at Eton.  He was then Drawing Master to Princess Charlotte.  Examples of work by Richard Cooper Junior are in the British Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum, Aberdeen Art Gallery, Fitzwilliam Museum Cambridge, Leeds City Art Gallery, the National Gallery of Scotland and the Tate Gallery Collection
