EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Mary Perdita Robinson, a remarkable figure from the late 18th century. Created by renowned artist Joshua Reynolds around 1783, this chalk on paper artwork captures the essence of Mrs. Mary Robinson, an English poet and actress. Robinson gained fame for her portrayal of Perdita in Florizel and Perdita, a play adapted from Shakespeare's A Winter's Tale. Her talent as both a poet and actress made her an influential figure in Georgian society. In this head and shoulders portrait, Robinson exudes elegance and contemplation. The artist skillfully brings out her feminine charm while highlighting her role as the mistress to King George IV (then Prince of Wales). It is through this connection that she earned the nickname "Perdita". The drawing provides us with a glimpse into Robinson's world during this period. As we admire this piece, we are transported back to the Georgian era when she was celebrated as a performer and actor. This particular print is part of a private collection but is available for public viewing due to its status being out of copyright. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate not only Reynolds' artistic prowess but also Mary Perdita Robinson's significant contributions to literature and theater during her time.
