EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Mrs. Anastasia Robinson, a renowned English soprano and later contralto, who gained fame for her exceptional performances in the operas of Handel during the Baroque era. Engraved by John Faber the Younger in 1727, this mezzotint captures Mrs. Robinson's elegance and talent. Seated at a harpsichord, Mrs. Robinson is depicted playing with great skill and passion, embodying the essence of her celebrated musical career. Her three-quarter length pose exudes confidence as she captivates audiences with her enchanting voice. The engraving is based on Vanderbank's portrait from 1723, further emphasizing Mrs. Robinson's status as a prominent figure in the opera world of that time. The intricate details captured by Faber bring to life her beauty and grace. Accompanying this stunning image is a verse poem that adds depth to the artwork, highlighting not only Mrs. Robinson's musical prowess but also her ability to evoke emotions through her performances. Now part of the Gerald Coke Handel Collection at London's Foundling Museum, this print serves as a timeless reminder of Mrs. Anastasia Robinson's extraordinary contribution to music history.
