A Ghost. L'Apparition.
Painted by R. Westall. Engrav'd by Schiavonetti.
London, Pub.d March 1. 1791, by T Simpson St. Paul's Church Yard.
Stipple, printed in colours. Framed, sight size 230 x 255mm (9 x 10". Unexamined out of frame.
Two girls huddle, one points, in fear of a "ghost", which is in fact a young boy playing around with a sheet over his head. As the pair, 'The Mask' after Joshua Reynolds, depicted two of the daughters of George Spencer, 4th Duke of Marlborough (who owned the painting), it is likely these are also his children.

[Buffeting the Bear] [&] [Playing at Leapfrog.]
[Possibly published by P. Stampa c.1800.]
Two mezzotints with engraving. Sheets c.165 x 230mm (6½ x 9"). Trimmed within plate, losing title at bottom, pasted on album sheet.
A pair of ovals depicting children at play. The London publisher P Stampa published very similar versions (BM 2010,7081.1678 & 2010,7081.2030) but, as these examples have been reworked (with line engraving around the eyes), it is impossible to tell whether they are the same plates).
