About this work

This print shows two people in a dimly lit room. The man stands holding a sword, dressed in old-fashioned clothes with a turban. The woman sits beside him, wearing a long dress and a headpiece, looking down. Behind them, a window reveals a church with a cross on top. The text at the bottom names the man as "Mr. Garrick in the character of Osmyn." This suggests the scene comes from a play. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more prints like this.
