Painted with delicate pastels on vellum, this exquisite print showcases Kemble's talent and the intricate details of his costume. Kemble, a celebrated figure in the theatrical world of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, was not only an exceptional performer but also a manager of Drury Lane and Covent Garden theatres.
