EDITORS COMMENTS
This mezzotint print, published in 1772, depicts the renowned English actress, Mrs. Abington, also known as Fanny or Frances Barton. The portrait, created by the skilled artist Elizabeth Judkins, showcases the thespian in an elegant and refined manner. Mrs. Abington is dressed in the height of eighteenth-century fashion, with a satin cloak draped over her shoulders and a silk ribbon adorning her hair. Her hairstyle, featuring intricate curls and a high forehead, was a popular choice among women of the time. The portrait was produced using the mezzotint technique on paper, a monochrome process that allowed for great detail and tonal depth. The artist, Elizabeth Judkins, expertly captured the expressive nature of Mrs. Abington's face, with her piercing gaze and subtle smile. The background is left simple, allowing the subject to take center stage. Mrs. Abington was a celebrated actress of the British stage, known for her versatility and ability to captivate audiences. She was a contemporary of Joshua Reynolds, the renowned British painter, who is believed to have influenced the portrayal of her in this print. The connection between the two is further emphasized by the presence of Reynolds' signature at the bottom left of the image. This print is a testament to the rich heritage of eighteenth-century art and the enduring appeal of the performing arts. It is a valuable addition to any collection of historical portraits or art dedicated to the world of entertainment.
