Mrs. Hale as Euphrosyne
Mezzotint, 620 x 380 mm., Goodwin 43 i/ii, Chaloner Smith 69 i/ii, ex collection: Frederic R. Halsey (Lugt 1308). Superb impression of this proof before letters on thick laid paper with narrow margins; short repaired tear at the right edge. This impression was lot 872 in the Halsey sale of February, 1917, where it brought one of the highest prices of the sale. Mrs. Mary Hale, in Reynolds’ grand manner, is cast in the role of Euphrosyne (mirth or good cheer), one of the Three Graces, but the print was later published under the title L’Allegro, a reference to Milton’s pastoral poem of that name. It is one of the most esteemed British mezzotint portraits of the eighteenth century. The British Museum owns only the second (published) state.
