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.
The mezzotints for which Frye is chiefly remembered is his series of seventeen life-size heads, which he published in two series between 1760-1762. Not presented as portraits but a series of 'fanciful heads' arranged in diverse poses; only his self portrait is identifiable.
This example on excellent condition with good margins on three sides; trimmed close to the plate mark at the base line.
