This print shows a portrait of an actor, William Thomas Lewis, playing a stage role. It was made in 1792 by Sir Martin Archer Shee, a British artist. The image belongs to the Romanticism movement. The print was published in London by J. Jones, a specific detail that points to the print trade of the time. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more prints from this era.
