This print is a portrait by Annibal Scratch from 1790. It’s a Romantic-era piece, small and made for print distribution. The museum calls it a “theatrical portrait,” likely of Bannister Junior, with a cheeky caption about looking amorous. It came out in a set called Attic Miscellany: Theatrical Portraiture, No. 5. Bentley & Co. published it, so it was meant to entertain more than just hang on walls. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more prints like this.
