This print shows Miss Linwood, a woman from the 1800s. She's dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The print was published in a London magazine, which is interesting because it gives us a glimpse into what people looked like back then, and how they were portrayed in media. The magazine, La Belle Assemblee, was known for featuring portraits of notable people. This print is one example of how people were represented in these publications. You can learn more about this type of printmaking at the museum. The technique used to create this print is similar to others from the same time period, but I'm not sure which one specifically. You can find out more about this print and its creation by looking into the technique of chiaroscuro.
