About this work

This print shows a man dressed for the stage. It’s from a play called *The Double Dealer*, done in 1777. The artist used printmaking to capture the moment. The work comes from the Harry Beard Print Collection. It’s one of many portraits linked to the theater of the time. That’s why it sits in the Victoria and Albert Museum today. Look up Roberts next.
