About this artwork
This is the stipple engraving of actress Hannah Pritchard (née Vaughan). Cook made it from Hayman’s original painting, and it was published by I.W.H. Payne on 1 February 1814. The image shows her in a relaxed pose, hair soft‑lined, dress simple and elegant. Delicate stippling gives texture to skin and cloth, while the subtle shading pulls out her gaze toward the left. It’s part of the National Portrait Gallery’s collection and has been lent for long‑term display.
