Mrs. Siddons as Jane Shore is a 1783 by James ARA Heath, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a woman in a long, flowing white dress with a high waist and puffed sleeves. She stands on a stage, arms slightly raised, as if speaking. Above her head is a bright oval light, like a spotlight. The background is dark, making her stand out. The text below names her as Mrs. Siddons playing the role of Jane Shore. The words are from a play, describing guilt and pressure. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this print in person.
