The print showcases his charismatic presence and theatrical flair, transporting us back to the vibrant world of English theater during that era. Dressed in an exquisite costume befitting his profession, Lowin stands confidently against a backdrop that suggests a grand stage. His half-length portait reveals a man who exudes both power and vulnerability, as he gazes directly at the viewer with an enigmatic expression. The intricate details of his clothing are meticulously captured by the skilled hand of Brocas Henry, the engraver responsible for immortalizing this moment in time. A cloak gracefully drapes over one shoulder, adding an air of mystery to Lowin's persona.
