This print is from the H Beard Print Collection by J. Prynn, created in the early 19th century. The print depicts a scene from a play, specifically Edmund Kean as Gloster in Richard III. This scene is accompanied by a quote, "That dogs bark at me, as I halt by 'em", which suggests the print is illustrating a dramatic moment. You can learn more about this style of printmaking by looking into the technique of chiaroscuro.
