About this work

This print shows a full-length portrait of Mrs Powell as Boadicea. It’s an 18th-century English print by Samuel De Wilde. The Victoria and Albert Museum holds this piece. The twist here is that Mrs Powell plays the warrior queen Boadicea. That’s a bold idea—posing a real person as a legendary rebel. Look up Boadicea to see why she mattered. Or check the Victoria and Albert Museum.
