21
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Dominant colour
H Beard Print Collection is a 21 by J.R. Smith, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows Anne Brown playing Clara in a play from 1775. It’s a portrait but also a show piece. J.R. Smith made it the same year Clara’s lines were printed. Clara hides her face behind a veil. The veil is the key—it hides and hints at the same time. Sheridan wrote the play, but Smith chose the moment. Look up the Romanticism movement next.
A print by J.R. Smith depicts Anne Brown in the role of Clara from Richard Brinsley Sheridan's play The Duenna.
