8
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
H Beard Print Collection is an 8 by Joshua Reynolds, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a portrait of George Coleman, Esq. He's dressed formally, looking straight at us. The portrait was made from a print, which is interesting because it was a common way to share images back then - many people could have the same picture. The print was published in London, which tells us something about how art was shared at that time. It was a way for people to own a piece of art without having to commission a painting themselves. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Reynolds, Joshua, Sir.
A portrait of George Coleman, Esq., was published in London by T. Cadell and W. Davis on March 8, 1813, and is part of the Harry Beard Collection.
