This group of Julian Bream drawings were sketched by Milein Cosman. Most are pen and ink on cartridge paper but two are pencil sketches. None appear to be individually titled and only one sketch bears the artist's signature. The exact date of these sketches are unknown but they were all likely done on the same day and appear to be early in Bream's recording career. Julian Bream started parting his hair to the left in 1960 when his hairline started to recede.

These sketches were provided courtesy of the Cosman Keller Art & Music Trust and the Royal College of Music.
