Alexander Jonston in the character of Gibby in "The Wonder" is a 1774 by Joseph I Saunders, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man wearing a black hat and a plaid jacket with a high collar. His face is round, with a slight smile and a bit of a double chin. One hand rests on his chest, and he looks directly at the viewer. The text below says this is "M'r Jonston in the character of Gibby in *The Wonder*," which hints it’s a stage role. The print was published in London in 1774. Next, check out Joseph I Saunders (British) for more of his work.
