Printed on paper, after an engraving
early/mid 1900s
This print of an engraving of John Wesley was done after a miniature portrait by John Barry (active c. 1784-1827).
According to the print, Barry's portrait of Wesley was painted around 1790; it was exhibited at the Royal Academy the same year. Judging by the crudeness of this print, it is likely that the engraved image bore only a passing resemblance to Barry's portrait of Wesley.
