About this work

This print shows Charles Dibdin in a formal portrait. It’s dated November 1801 and made by Thomas Kearsley. The museum calls it part of the H Beard Print Collection. The sheet was published by Benjamin Smith that same year. It fits the Romantic style, which often emphasized feeling and character over perfect detail.
