Mrs Warner as Hermione is a 1850 by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a woman dressed as Hermione from Shakespeare's Winter's Tale. She's wearing a fancy costume and looks very serious. The interesting thing about this work is that it's an engraving, which is a type of print made by carving a design into metal, and it was collected by Harry Beard. You can learn more about this type of art by looking into the technique: sfumato.
An engraving from around 1850 depicts Mrs. Warner performing the role of Hermione in *The Winter's Tale*, part of the Harry Beard Collection in London. The print was produced in London and reflects the theatrical portrayal of Hermione during that period.
