This gorgeous original print (1738) from the artist William Hogarth conveys his style in the Eighteenth Century of working within the confines of the stage and the theater. Hogarth's depiction of the body and its movements seems to be exentuated in the central figure in this portrait. Centered within the frame, the actress is a artifice of movement, her legs contorted in different ways while one arm raises and the other draws closer toward the torso. The anxious ripples in the cloth create energies of motion. This piece is classic Hogarth. *http://www.library.nwu.edu/spec/hogarth/
