About this work

This print shows actor Barton Booth in a three-quarter pose. Light hits his face from the left, casting a soft shadow on his cheek. His powdered wig and ruffled shirt look crisp against the plain background. It’s one of the last prints made by George Clint before he died. The print was published by W. Walker in 1822, just months after Clint passed. The plate shows fine lines and delicate shading. If you like this style, check out prints at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
