Bertie Greatheed (The Younger) (1781-1804)
Mrs Priscilla Kemble
Oil on canvas
741mm x 615mm
A portrait of Mrs John Kemble, nee Priscilla Hopkins, wearing a turban.
Priscilla Hopkins (1756-1845) acted in Garrick's company at Drury Lane Theatre from 1775 until her retirement in 1796. She played Harriet in The Runaway, Eliza in Spleen or Islington Spa, Maria in School for Scandal and secondary roles as Mrs Brereton, 1778-1787. She married John Philip Kemble in 1787, another actor in Garrick's company. His sister, the actress Sarah Siddons, was companion to Lady Mary Greatheed and presumably it is through her that Priscilla met Bertie Greatheed. It is clear from family letters that the two families remained close for over 20 years.
