Proof mezzotint. 230 x 165mm (9 x 6½"), with large margins.
Singer and writer Elizabeth Ann Sheridan (née Linley, 1754-92), painted as Saint Cecilia, patron saint of musicians and of Church music. She plays the organ seated on a low stool, two angelic children singing behind; from upper left, cloud with shafts of light. Miss Linley of Bath married the playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan after eloping with him, in 1773. She was famous for her soprano voice, so the pose was obviously suitable. Sheridan, having ordered the picture, found he could not afford to pay for it. It was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1775. From "Engravings from the Works of Sir Joshua Reynolds', a four-volume set (later nine) with over 350 small mezzotints.

Three drawings of the coffin of Elizabeth Stuart (1635-50), second daughter of Charles I and Henrietta Maria.

Daughter of ye Late King Charles Deced Sept. 8th. MDCL.'. After the execution of Charles I, Elizabeth and her younger brother Henry went to live in Penshurst in Kent, but after Elizabeth's brother Charles (the future Charles II) landed in Scotland to assume the throne, parliament resolved to transport Elizabeth and Henry 'out of the limits of the Commonwealth'. They were temporarily lodged in Carisbrooke Castle on the Isle of Wight (despite Elizabeth's protestations that her health made transporting her inadvisable), where she died soon after arriving. She was buried in a small vault near the communion table in St Thomas's Church at Newport.
