This print shows an actor on stage. Charles Grignion made it in the late 1700s. It’s a portrait of William Lewis playing the role of Hippolitus in a play from the early 1700s. The print comes from the Victoria and Albert Museum’s Harry Beard Collection. It’s a record of an 18th-century performance, not just a portrait. Look up William Thomas Lewis next.
