This print shows an actress, Mrs Bland, in a staged role. It’s a portrait turned play part, part of a collection kept together by Harry Beard. The print dates to around 1800 and comes from the Romantic era. It was made to look like a stage character named Beda in the opera Blue Beard. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
