[Garrick between Tragedy and Comedy.]
[J. Reynolds Pinxit. E. Fisher sculpsit Londini 1762]
[Sold by Edw.d Fisher, at the Golden Head the South Side of Leicester Square, John Boydell Engraver, at the Unicorn, in Cheapside, and E. Bakewell, & H. Parker, _PrintSellers in Cornhill, opposite Birchin Lane, London.]
Mezzotint, without the title printed from a separate plate, 18th century watermark. 410 x 505mm (16 x 20"). Tear entering plate at top, two tears and rubbing in margin.
A portrait of actor David Garrick (1717-1779), showing him torn between the female figures of Comedy and Tragedy. Although he looks at Tragedy he is allowing Comedy to pull him away. The scene is a parody of the Choice of Hercules, in which the hero was asked to choose between Pleasure and Virtue, choosing the more difficult but more honourable path of Virtue. Walpole notes that the idea for the painting was Garrick's. The picture was one of Garrick's favourites: in 1764 he wrote from Paris, ''I am so plagu'd here for my prints or rather prints of me - that I must desire you to send me by the first opportunity six prints from Reynolds' picture, you may apply to the engraver he lives in Leicester Fields, and his name is Fisher, he will give you good ones, if he knows they are for me''. A separate plate was used to print the title, with a Latin title (''Reddere Personæ scit convenientia cuique'').
