D Reading

D Reading is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

This printmaker portrayed a lost 17th-century playwright in a crisp, early-19th-century style, only one portrait survives, Nathaniel Lee, Dramatic Poet Ob. 1690 from 1820. It captures Lee in period dress with sharp lines and flat tints, a quiet record of a poet who died over a century earlier. Tap the print to see the engraved name and date pressed into the plate’s lower edge.
