- Abstract
-
One of a collection of four similar images; the other three images are titled: Mr. Kean as Othello; Miss Hargraves as Amy; Madame Vestris as Don Giovani. Formerly part of an album (now lost), each on the same size sheet but different colors and collages attributed to different artists. Annotations in red ink are by the same hand. Presumably these collages, constructed using the same fabrics, were made by friends and exchanged as gifts. In this collage a full-length image of a woman, identified as Miss Bartolozzi, with her head and neck, hands, and boots cut from an unidentifed print or prints while her costume and hat and their trimming are cut from satin cloth with additional decorated paper trimming. On the verso in two columns written in red ink and ruled in red ink: On the left the title of a poem only "Lines on my garden". On the right: Song, "My own Blue Bell".
