These popular actors are represented in their roles in David Garrick's farce Lethe. The figure of Henry Woodward is modeled after his portrait by Francis Hayman (1708–1776) taken from a mezzotint by James McArdell (1728–1765). The figure of Kitty Clive (see 64.101.691) is modeled after an engraving of 1750 by Charles Mosley (1720–1770) taken from a drawing by Thomas Worlidge (1700–1766). [Jessie McNab, 2002]
