The image, dated between 1736 and 1795, showcases Parsons' exceptional talent and versatility on the stage. William Parsons (1736-1795) was a celebrated actor of the eighteenth century, known for his ability to bring depth and nuance to his roles. In this print, he embodies the mischievous and daring spirit of Periwinkle, a character from the popular Restoration comedy by William Wycherley. The play, first performed in 1672, tells the story of a woman's audacious plan to win back her husband's affections by pretending to be a man and seducing another man. Parsons' portrayal of Periwinkle was undoubtedly a crowd-pleaser, as evidenced by the lively expression and animated pose captured in this print. The actor's costume, complete with a tricorn hat, waistcoat, and breeches, further adds to the authenticity and historical accuracy of the image. This print offers a glimpse into the world of eighteenth-century theater and the captivating performances that entertained audiences for generations. It serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of classic literature and the artistry of the actors who brought these stories to life on the stage. Whether admired for its historical significance or its artistic merit, this print of William Parsons as Periwinkle is a valuable addition to any collection of theater history or early modern literature.
