The print is titled Lyar by George Barret. It was published in February 1794. The print depicts Act I, Scene 2 of Lyar, which suggests it is related to a theatrical performance. This context is interesting because it shows how art can be connected to other forms of storytelling. You can learn more about this style by looking into the movement: Romanticism.
