![[Richard, Earl of Barrymore]](jpegs/65199.jpg)
[Richard, Earl of Barrymore]
Painted by R. Cosway. Engraved by J Jehner.
Published June 24. 1778, by John Boydell Engraver in Cheapside London
Mezzotint with fantastic colour, 18th century watermark; 380 x 280mm (15 x 11"). Trimmed to plate.
Portrait of Richard Barry, Earl of Barrymore (1769-93), depicted as Cupid sitting on the grass beside a rose bush. With his back to the viewer, he looks over his shoulder while playing a lyre, all within a circular frame. As a young man the engraver, Isaac Jehner (1750-1818), had a series of accidents that broke his thighs and left arm, which were badly treated, leaving him on limited stature and disabled. He published a memoir, unusual for an engraver, called 'Fortune's Football' in 1806, described by Alexander as 'a pioneering account by a person with disabilites of his experiences'.
