About this work

This print shows an actress dressed as Thalia, the Greek muse of comedy. It was made in London in 1783 by Richard Cosway. The print is kept at the Victoria and Albert Museum. It was published by S. Watts the same year it was drawn. Thalia often holds a comic mask, but the print keeps that detail quiet. Check out more Romanticism prints at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
