This hand-colored etching by Robert Sayer depicts a masked ball held at Ranelagh Gardens in London to celebrate the birthday of the Prince of Wales in 1751. Sayer, a renowned English printmaker, captured the festive atmosphere of the event with meticulous detail. The image shows the Rotunda, a circular building, surrounded by a vibrant throng of elegantly dressed guests enjoying the occasion. The print is a valuable historical document offering a glimpse into the social life and fashion of 18th-century England.
