AFTER ROBERT EDGE PINE. Miranda (Shakespeare, The Tempest, Act 1, Scene 2)

Miranda (Shakespeare, The Tempest, Act 1, Scene 2). Artist: After Robert Edge Pine (British, London (?) 1720/30?-1788 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania). Dimensions: Sheet (trimmed within plate): 14 3/4 × 17 5/8 in. (37.5 × 44.8 cm). Engraver: Caroline Watson (British, London 1760/61-1814 London). Publisher: John Boydell (British, Shropshire 1720-1804 London). Subject: William Shakespeare (British, Stratford-upon-Avon 1564-1616 Stratford-upon-Avon). Date: 1784.
The teenage Miranda, raised on a desert isle by her magician-father Prospero, here catches sight of the ship-wrecked youth Ferdinand and is dumbfounded by his beauty. Pine's related painting was shown in April 1782 at the Great Room, Spring Gardens with six other subjects from Shakespeare, with plans announced for related engravings "in the chalk manner," by Caroline Watson and Victor Marie Picot. When Pine departed for America, Boydell bought the plates and reissued this version of the print in 1784.
