EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Lavinia Fenton, later known as the Duchess of Bolton. Engraved by Cornelius Apostool in 1797, this stipple engraving beautifully captures the essence of this renowned English actress. Lavinia Powlett, Duchess of Bolton (1708-1760), gained fame for her exceptional portrayal of Polly Peachum in The Beggars Opera. The image depicts a woman exuding elegance and grace, adorned with a bonnet and lace cap that perfectly complement her aristocratic attire. Her decollete neckline adds a touch of allure to her portrait, emphasizing her status as a prominent figure in Georgian society. Lavinia Fenton's talent on stage made her a celebrated performer during the Baroque era. This half-length portrait not only highlights her beauty but also pays homage to her significant contributions to the world of theater. Displayed at the Gerald Coke Handel Collection within London's Foundling Museum, this engraving is part of an esteemed collection dedicated to preserving historical artifacts related to George Frideric Handel and his contemporaries. As we gaze upon this exquisite artwork, we are transported back in time to witness the splendor and glamour associated with aristocracy during the 18th century. It serves as a reminder of Lavinia Fenton's lasting legacy as both an accomplished actress and member of high society.
