Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Laurence Sterne NPG 5019

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Sir Joshua Reynolds

More than just a good likeness, Reynolds's portrait is full of energy and wit. Cloaked in his church gown, Sterne's twisting, dynamic figure and sardonic expression reveal the writer’s active mind. Reynolds's intention in painting this portrait, which was not commissioned, was to cash in on Sterne's popularity with the sale of mezzotint engravings after the original.

Card size: 125mm x 175mm
