Sarah Siddons is the greatest actress of her time. She was famous for her tragic, dark roles, especially the creation of the classic and gloomy roles of Lady Macbeth. In this picture Reynolds solemnly erected Mrs. Siddons on the stage and depicted in the image of the Muse of Tragedy.
While working, he showered the actress with compliments, and at the end, putting her signature on the edge of her dress, said: “I did not miss the opportunity to take advantage of my honor – go to the descendants on the hem of your outfit.”
