This print shows an actress in a Shakespeare play. It’s a portrait of Hannah Pritchard as Hermione in 1765. The work is a print, not a painting. The print was published by R. E. Pine, who chose this famous scene from *The Winter’s Tale*. That same year, 1765, the piece first came out. If you like this print, look up more works by artist Pine, R. E.
