Description
This modest Staffordshire figure c.1840, once on loan to the British Museum of Fine Arts, illustrates a pivotal moment in British theatre, when David Garrick made his debut, aged twenty-four, as Richard III at Goodman’s Fields Theatre in Aldgate on Monday 19th October 1741. Based upon William Hogarth’s painting, it shows Garrick in the momentous scene on the night before the battle of Bosworth Field when those Richard has killed appear to him in a dream foretelling his death and defeat next day.
