Miss Frances Kemble
Sir Joshua Reynolds (after) 1723 - 1792
Summary
A half length portrait of Frances Anne "Fanny" Kemble (1809-1893), a British actress, writer and abollitionist. Kemble is seated looking downwards, and slightly to the left. Her hair is piled on her head, and she wears a ribbon around her neck, a white shoulder wrap and a black dress. A mountain landscape is present behind. The engraved inscription space, which is lightly ground, shows two putti holding a scroll, inscribed with the sitter's name, surrounded by clouds. This print is a first state proof.
