From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
H Beard Print Collection is a 1750 by Thomas Worlidge, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a woman in a fancy dress, sitting by a table with a book and a teapot. Her face looks tired but she wears a big, odd hat like a fancy crown. The artist copied a famous play where this woman played a silly rich lady who gets tricked. Kitty Clive was a real star on stage back then. This print helped people remember her big role in a silly comedy called *Lethe*. Check out another print by the same artist at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
This 1750 print by Thomas Worlidge shows Kitty Clive in the role of The Fine Lady from the play *Lethe*.
