About this work

This print shows a man named Mr. Caveller who worked as a dancing master. It’s an 18th-century portrait made by an artist called Crank. The image is a print, so it’s a single picture that can be copied and shared. Dancing masters taught people how to dance and move. This one looks formal, like a professional portrait meant to show off his role. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more prints like this.
