EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable portrait of Thomas Killigrew, a prominent Restoration playwright from the 17th century. The frontispiece to his Works, beautifully engraved by William Faithorne in 1664, perfectly captures Killigrew's essence and character. In this stunning depiction, we see a man who exudes loyalty and devotion. With a faithful dog at his side and a regal walking stick in hand, Killigrew stands as an unwavering royalist amidst turbulent times. His steadfast support for King Charles I is evident not only through his portrayal but also through the presence of a portrait of the monarch on his desk. The image offers us a glimpse into Killigrew's world as he engages in deep contemplation at his study. A distinguished dramatist known for his wit and talent, he sits confidently behind the desk that has witnessed countless hours of creativity and inspiration. The attention to detail is impeccable; every line etched by Sheppard skillfully brings out Killigrew's masculine features while capturing the essence of his personality. This portrait serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation - it encapsulates an era defined by resilience and artistic brilliance. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back in time to witness the life and legacy of one of England's most celebrated playwrights.
