H Beard Print Collection is a 16 by Thomas Rowlandson, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting shows a man dressed as a theater actor. He's wearing a fancy costume and holding a scroll. This print is interesting because it has a verse from Alexander the Great, which suggests the actor is playing a role from history or literature. The actor's clothes and pose seem to be from a specific time period. To learn more about this style of art, look at the work of artist: Rowlandson, Thomas.
