Frances Abington as Aurelia in The Twin Rivals by George Farquhar, 1737: A Captivating Portrayal of Twin Siblings' Rivalry and Romance This exquisite 1815 print by Mary Evans Picture Library, titled 'Frances Abington as Aurelia in The Twin Rivals by George Farquhar,' offers a glimpse into the captivating world of eighteenth-century theatre. The image features the renowned English actress Frances Abington, who brought the character of Aurelia to life in Farquhar's popular play, The Twin Rivals. Set against a richly textured, velvet background, Abington's striking likeness is captured in the prime of her career. Her expressive eyes convey a depth of emotion, while her elegant attire, adorned with intricate lace and delicate floral patterns, reflects the opulence of the period. The intricate details of her costume, from the delicate ruff at her neck to the voluminous skirt that sweeps the floor, underscore the meticulous attention to historical accuracy that Mary Evans Picture Library is known for. The Twin Rivals, first performed in 1737, is a witty and engaging comedy of manners that explores the complexities of sibling relationships, romantic entanglements, and the power of mistaken identity. Aurelia and her twin brother, Thwackum, are at the heart of the story, as they both fall in love with the same man, Belvile, leading to a series of comedic misunderstandings and heartfelt resolutions. Frances Abington's portrayal of Aurelia was celebrated for its nuanced and captivating performance, which no doubt contributed to the enduring popularity of The Twin Rivals. This print serves as a testament to her talent and the enduring allure of this classic work of theatre history.
