About this work

This is a print after George Romney’s portrait of Sarah Siddons. It dates from the early 1900s, long after Romney died, so it’s a later copy of his famous work. The print was published in a magazine called The Connoisseur. That’s how it became part of the H Beard Print Collection. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more prints like this one.
