H Beard Print Collection is a 3 by Thomas Gainsborough, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a print after Thomas Gainsborough’s 1785–87 portrait of Sarah Siddons. The original shows the great actress seated, calm and strong. The print dates to 1876 and sits in the Victoria and Albert Museum’s collection. It mixes Impressionist quickness with Realist detail, a combination that feels alive. The museum calls it a portrait of Sarah Siddons sitting. Look next at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
