A lady tunes a guitar in a candlelit Spanish interior while two gentlemen look on, a third sits at her side, and an attendant at far left keeps a monkey on his shoulder. The plate credits G. S. Newton as painter and C. G. Lewis as engraver, and notes that the original hung in the collection of the Duke of Bedford at Woburn Abbey. The cross-hatching is dense and fine, and the satin gown catches nearly all the light in the room.
Antique condition consistent with age. The print is framed behind glass and has not been examined out of the frame. The paper shows overall toning and scattered brown foxing in the margins, with a faint stain along the lower margin near the title lettering. The engraved image itself is crisp and clear through the glass. There are a few specks on or under the glass.
The frame shows wear to the gilt slip, including darkening and small losses along the lower edge, and a small chip to the black finish at the upper left corner. The backing is hardboard with paper tape and a twisted wire hanger, consistent with a 20th century framing.

Age-appropriate wear, patina, minor imperfections, and signs of previous use or repair are inherent to antique and vintage items and are not considered defects. These characteristics are part of what makes each piece unique and are often what give it its beauty and value.
We describe the condition of each piece as accurately as possible in the listing. If you have specific questions about a piece before purchasing, please reach out. We are always happy to provide additional photos or details.
