The late Mr Lovegrove as Captain Rattan is a 2 by James Thomson, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a man dressed as Captain Rattan. He's wearing a fancy uniform and has a serious expression. You might wonder what's going on here - it seems like a costume or a character from a play. The details in the print are pretty intricate, which suggests it was made with care. To learn more about this kind of printmaking, look up the technique of chiaroscuro.
A print from 1816 shows Mr. Lovegrove in the role of Captain Rattan, published by C. Chapple in London and held in the Harry Beard Collection.
