About this work

This print shows an 1805 portrait of “Master Betty” acting in a play. Robert Dighton the younger turned the stage role into a small engraving. It captures the Romantic-era taste for dramatic young performers. The Victoria and Albert Museum keeps this Harry Beard Collection piece in London. Want to see more Romantic prints?
