H Beard Print Collection is a 2 by John Bell, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a man's portrait, engraved in 1791. He's dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The man is Mr Blanchard, playing a role in a play called The Maid of the Mill. The play was popular back then. It was a comedy, and Mr Blanchard's role, Ralph, was likely a fun character. To learn more about this style of portrait, look up the technique: chiaroscuro.
An engraved portrait from 1791 depicts Mr. Blanchard in the role of Ralph in *The Maid of the Mill*, part of the Harry Beard Collection.
