EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the talented duo of John Edwin and Mrs. Wells in their roles as Lingo and Cowslip in the delightful play, "The Agreeable Surprise". Captured by artist John Downman in 1787, this watercolor and bodycolour masterpiece on laid paper measures an impressive 41.3x32.1 cm. In this oval-shaped portrait, we see Mrs. Wells donning a charming bonnet that perfectly complements her radiant smile. Her expressive eyes reveal her prowess as an actress, while her graceful posture exudes confidence and elegance. Standing beside her is John Edwin, whose mischievous grin hints at his character's humorous nature. With a bowl held high in one hand, these two actors effortlessly transport us into the world of performance art. Their chemistry is palpable as they bring to life the comical tale of Lingo and Cowslip with their impeccable acting skills. This painting captures not only the talent of these two individuals but also serves as a testament to the rich history of English theater during this era. Preserved within Yale Center for British Art's esteemed Paul Mellon Collection, it stands as a treasured piece that continues to inspire generations with its timeless beauty.
