Item Description
Mezzotint by Thomas Frye from his series of life-sized fanciful heads; Old Woman leaning on a Crutch. Thomas Frye executed portraits in oil, pastel and mezzotint.

Not presented as portraits but a series of 'fanciful heads' arranged in diverse poses; only his self portrait is identifiable.
This example is in excellent condition with good margins on three sides; trimmed close to the plate mark at the base line. Engraved in stipple along the title band 'T. Frye Pictor Invt & Sculpt. Hatton Garden 1760'.
Within a good replica of a correct 18th century print frame, ebonized and with a gilt sight.
