This print is titled 'H Beard Print Collection' and was created by Johann Heinrich Ramberg. It's interesting that the print depicts a scene from a play, specifically Mrs Ward as Portia in Julius Caesar. The print was published by J. Bell in 1785, which suggests it was likely created for a theatrical production or to commemorate a performance. You can learn more about this style by looking into the movement: Romanticism.
