EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a captivating portrait of Henry Wriothesley, the 3rd Earl of Southampton, dating back to the early-mid 19th century. As an English aristocrat and one of William Shakespeare's patrons, Wriothesley played a significant role in supporting the arts during his time.

The portrait is believed to be based on an original painting by Mirevelt, which is currently held in the collection of His Grace, The Duke of Bedford. This particular print was produced by The London Printing and Publishing Company. Wriothesley belonged to a prominent family; he was the second son of Henry Wriothesley, 2nd Earl of Southampton, and Mary Browne, daughter of the 1st Viscount Montagu.
