Memoir of Miss Love is a 18 by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a woman, Miss Emma Sarah Love, dressed as Mrs. White. She's in a simple setting. The woman in the painting is an actress, and this print was published in a theater magazine, which is an interesting fact about this work, as it gives us a glimpse into her career. The print was made from a publication, and it's a portrait of the actress in a specific role. This gives us a look at what theater was like back then. You can learn more about this kind of printmaking by looking into the technique: sfumato.
A print from *Theatrical Times* dated December 18, 1847, depicts Miss Emma Sarah Love in the role of Mrs. White, part of the Harry Beard Collection. The illustration appears as a supplement in the publication, showing the actress in character.
