Richard Brinsley Sheridan Esq.
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
This is a black-and-white print of a man in an old-fashioned coat with big buttons. He’s standing slightly sideways, one hand resting on a curved railing. The background is dark, with a hint of a building or steps behind him. The edges of the print have fancy swirls and a crest at the top. The name below the portrait reads *Richard Brinsley Sheridan Esq.*, which was a common title for gentlemen in the 1700s. The print looks like it was made to look fancy, with extra details around the picture. If you like old portraits like this, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
