Mary Robinson, also known as Mrs. Robinson or Perdita, was a prominent figure in the late 18th century. Born in 1757, she gained fame as an English actress and later became a poet and novelist. One of the most famous portrayals is by Thomas Gainsborough in his painting "Mrs. Robinson (Perdita), 1781. " This captivating artwork captures her beauty and elegance, showcasing her talent as an actress. In Bristol Cathedral's north cloister, you can still find Mary Robinson's room door. It serves as a reminder of her connection to this historic place and her impact on the arts during that time. The engraving "Florizel and Perdita, " published around 1783, depicts Mary Robinson in one of her iconic roles. Her portrayal of Perdita showcases her ability to captivate audiences with both grace and emotion. Another lithograph simply titled "Mrs. Robinson" immortalizes her enchanting presence on stage. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this remarkable woman who left an indelible mark on theater history. Richard Cosway's painting "Mrs. Robinson as Perdita" from around 1779 further emphasizes Mary's talent for embodying characters with depth and authenticity. Her influence extended beyond acting; she was also celebrated among Drury Lane Celebrities in 1881 for her contributions to literature and drama alike. However, it wasn't all glamour for Mary Robinson; she faced personal struggles too. In George Romney's portrait from 1780-1781, we see a more vulnerable side to this multifaceted woman who experienced both triumphs and hardships throughout her life. Even after centuries have passed since Mary graced the stage, artists like Charles Bestland continue to be inspired by her allure through works such as "Perdita (Mrs. Mary Robinson)" created at the turn of the nineteenth century.
