Portraits
Portraits of the heavily-bearded Burchett include a bronze bust by his pupil Henrietta Montalba in an elaborate bronze frame designed by George Clausen that has followed the Royal College to its new Darwin Building on Kensington Gore, where it is installed in a courtyard. He was painted by Val Prinsep standing next to Lord Leighton in his Distribution of Art Prizes (1869, Victoria and Albert Museum), and there is a wood engraving after an unknown artist, very likely a student (above) published with an obituary.
