These popular actors are represented in their roles in David Garrick's farce Lethe. The figure of Kitty Clive is modeled after an engraving of 1750 by Charles Mosley (1720–1770) taken from a drawing by Thomas Worlidge (1700–1766). The figure of Henry Woodward (see 64.101.690) is modeled after his portrait by Francis Hayman (1708–1776) taken from a mezzotint by James McArdell (1728–1765). [Jessie McNab, 2002]

European Sculpture and Decorative Arts

An exhibit at Metropolitan Museum of Art

The fifty thousand objects in the Museum's comprehensive and historically important collection of European sculpture and decorative arts reflect the development of a number of art forms in Western European countries from the early fifteenth through the early twentieth century. The holdings include sculpture in many sizes and media, woodwork and furniture, ceramics and glass, metalwork and jewelry, horological and mathematical instruments, and tapestries and textiles. Ceramics made in Asia for export to European markets and sculpture and decorative arts produced in Latin America during this period are also included among these works.
