1784
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Mr. Edwin in the Character of Lingo is a 1784 by Charles Howard Hodges, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in a big white wig and fancy clothes. He’s wearing a dark coat with cuffs, a white cravat, and his right hand is outstretched like he’s in the middle of a speech. The background is plain, so all the focus is on him. The title at the bottom says *"Mr. Edwin in the Character of Lingo"*—this was likely a stage role. The print also names the artist, Charles Howard Hodges, who made this in 1784.
