This print shows an actress in a Shakespeare play. It’s from 1828, done by Samuel William Reynolds the elder. The work is a print, not a painting, and fits under Romanticism. Reynolds used a printing method to capture a stage moment. The scene is Madame Vestris playing Mrs Page in *The Merry Wives of Windsor*. See what else the Victoria and Albert Museum holds.
