A print of Lady Hamilton, in one of her famous 'attitudes'. She is shown seated in a chair, resting her head on her hands. Emma, Lady Hamilton, performed her classically-inspired 'attitudes' from 1787 to audiences of invited guests in Naples, where her husband Sir William was British Envoy. In 1794, the attitudes were the subject of a set of engravings by Tommaso Piroli, here printed on ochre prepared paper to echo the Greek vase paintings on which Lady Hamilton based her act. This print is one of a set of twelve plates produced by Piroli after Friedrich Rehberg.
