This artwork is called A Family Addressed by Angels. It was created by John Flaxman between 1820-1826, which is a bit later than the late 18th century, but still early 19th century. The fact that it's on the back of a letter is interesting, showing the artist used whatever was available. You can learn more about this style by looking into the movement: Romanticism.
