This print is from the H Beard Print Collection, created by James Gwinn around 1735. It's a portrait of Mr Barry as Macbeth, which is interesting because it shows a specific scene from a play. The fact that it was published in London by Robert Sayer adds to its historical context. To learn more about this style, look into the Baroque movement.
