Citation | VGW(RI.774.018 24 Mar 1774:12 (411) London, . . . There is now in the possession of Lord Mansfield, at his house in Bloomsbury Square, a picture of Betterton, the famous tragedian, painted by Mr. Pope, which is esteemed a fine likeness, and a good portrait. We have been assured, that this celebrated poet (though it is a circumstance very little known) excelled so much in this sister art as to be little inferior to his friend Jervas, who he has so immortalized in his works. |
