Moroone pinx:
[n.d., c.1800]
Mezzotint, platemark 275 x 205mm (10¾ x 8"), on wove paper with very large margins.
A young woman (supposedly the courtesan Mrs Russell) confesses to a monk who points a finger at her with one hand while one hand disappears under his habit. Such scenes between an attractive woman and a lascivious monk were common in 18th century prints. Engraved by the famous early mezzotinter John Smith (1652-1743) after Dutch painter Marcellus Laroon II (1649-1702). Originally published circa 1720.

P Tempest, ex: Cum privilegio. [London, n.d., c.1688.]
Copper engraving, laid paper, 245 x 160mm, 9¾ x 6¼". A good, clean impression.
A young Quaker girl standing with hands clasped at waist, a cloak under her left arm, wearing plain clothes with frilled sleeves and a headscarf. This is almost certainly the likeness of a real person; a note on an impression in the BM identifies the woman as Racheal of Covent Garden. After Marcellus Laroon (1648/1649 or 1653 - 1702), from the series 'The Cryes of the City of London Drawne after the Life' published by Pierce Tempest (1653 - 1717).
