This print shows a scene from a play, She Stoops to Conquer. It’s dated 1775, so it’s an old piece. The artist, Carington Bowles, made it as a print, not a painting. The print shows actors playing roles in the final act of the play. They’re costumed as characters named Mr Hardcastle, Mrs Hardcastle, and Tony Lumpkin. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
