This is a 1805 print by English artist Francis Eginton. It shows a portrait of a young performer named Master Betty. The print is done in the Romantic style, which often focused on emotion and individuality. Master Betty was a child actor who became famous in early 1800s London. Eginton’s print captures him at the height of his brief but dazzling career. Take a closer look at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
