This is a 19th-century print portrait by Richard Phillips. It shows a woman’s bust in profile, engraved on paper. The Victoria and Albert Museum calls it an engraving of Mrs Billington. The print is part of the Harry Beard Collection. It’s not a painting or drawing—it’s a print, so it uses lines cut into metal or wood. Take a look at the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
