This print shows a man sitting in a chair, dressed in a dark coat and light shirt. His hands rest on the armrest, and he looks straight ahead with a calm face. Behind him, a piano and a curtained window are faintly visible. The name "Mr. Yates" is written below, along with "Adelphi Theatre," hinting he might be connected to performing. The print looks like it was made using a method that creates strong light and shadow. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more prints like this.
