| Description |
Single sheet stipple engraving, some creasing and a few brown spots. Arne is depicted three-quarter-length, standing in profile to the right at a harpsichord, wearing bag-wig and sword, in court dress; "the exaggeration of his elongated melancholy face and the position of the hands give the character of a caricature" (M. Dorothy George). The original drawing, attributed to Bartolozzi, evidently a sketch from life, is in the Royal Collection at Windsor |
