About the painting

The actor William Charles Macready (1793-1873) was famous for his role as the German tragic hero Werner, in the drama of this name by Lord Byron. This portrait was painted and exhibited shortly after the final performance. John Forster, who commissioned it, was a friend of Macready and Maclise.
