This print shows a scene with Lord Barrymore as Captain Wathen. It's an etched print, which is a technique where the artist scratches a design onto a metal plate. The scene is from a play, and it's interesting because it shows a specific character and event. The detail and shading in this print are similar to those found in works that use the technique of chiaroscuro.
