Painted by Sir Joshua Reynolds. Engraved by W. Dickinson.
London, Publish'd July 1st; 1785, by W. Dickinson, Engraver & Printseller No. 158 Bond Street.
Stipple and soft-ground etching. Sheet 380 x 275mm (15 x 10¾"). Trimmed to platemark.
Portrait of Mary Robinson (c.1756-1800), known as 'Perdita'; writer, actress and mistress of the future George IV. She stands with her hands together, wearing feathered hat with large brim, tied under her chin; curtain behind and landscape beyond at left. Mary Robinson was also known as Perdita after playing that role in Shakespeare's A Winter's Tale in 1779. It was during a performance of this play that she attracted the notice of the young Prince of Wales, later King George IV. Her affair with him ended amidst much publicity in 1781: she threatened to publish the prince's letters and, in exchange for returning them, she was rewarded with £5000 and a small annuity. She subsequently earned her living through writing, publishing poems for The Oracle (1790-3) and the Morning Post (1797-1800), as well as plays, pamphlets, translations, miscellaneous journalism, autobiography, and several novels. After Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723 - 1792).
