About this work

This print from 1746 shows Mrs. Cibber in a head-and-torso portrait. Thomas Hudson made it. It’s a print, so it’s not a painting—just ink on paper. The style fits the Baroque movement, which loved drama and detail. Baroque prints often used strong contrasts. This one is small but full of presence. Mrs. Cibber’s expression feels direct, like she’s looking right at you. Want to see more? Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
