The Weeping Audience
'The Weeping Audience' - a group in the audience at a theatre, all with downturned mouths and many with kerchiefs to their eyes. There are three rows of candles in front of their gallery. Wallis was at the address on the print - 42 Skinner Street - in 1814 - hence the dating. There is no trace of Hogarth, who famously produced The Laughing Audience, making a companion piece of this title, and the style, while not dissimilar, is cruder.
