EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print showcases Henry Singleton's oil on canvas masterpiece, "Lingo and Cowslip". Measuring 33.8x29.6 cm, this artwork can be found at the esteemed Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK. This painting beautifully captures a scene from John O Keefe's musical farce, The Agreeable Surprise, as performed by the talented duo of John Edwin and Mrs Wells. Lingo, a comic character portrayed by Edwin, served as an inspiration for Rowlandson's renowned Dr Syntax. During its time, The Agreeable Surprise was immensely popular and various portrayals of Lingo or Lingo and Cowslip were created. Singleton's interpretation stands out among them all with its exceptional attention to detail and vibrant colors. In this particular scene depicted in the painting, we see a female actress seated gracefully while a male actor gestures animatedly beside her on stage. Their expressions convey the energy and humor that must have been present during their performance. The print not only captures the essence of this historical play but also highlights Singleton's remarkable talent as an artist. It is truly a treasure within the collection at Laing Art Gallery.
