About this work

This print shows an actor dressed as Tamerlane, a historical figure. The actor's costume and pose suggest a dramatic performance. The print was published by J.Barker in 1793, which is interesting because it was after the artist's death, so it might be a later reproduction of his work. The print's style is similar to that of other 18th-century artists, such as artist: Martin, David.
