H Beard Print Collection is a 1902 by John Russell, depicting letter, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows Sarah Siddons, a famous actress, sitting in a chair. Her face has strong light and dark contrasts, almost like a spotlight on her. The print was made from a painting by John Russell. It appeared in a magazine called The Connoisseur in 1902, over a century after Russell’s work. See it up close at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
