This is a print from 1819 by Richard Dighton. It shows a portrait of a man named Mr. Liston, linked to three fields: love, law, and medicine. The print was etched and published in London that August. The museum notes it comes from the Harry Beard Collection. It’s an example of Romantic-era portraiture, focused on personality over strict realism. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
