"David Garrick with William Burton and John Palmer in 'The Alchemist' by Ben Jonson, 1770" is a notable painting by the German neoclassical painter Johann Zoffany (1733–1810), who became famous for his theatrical and society portraits in England. The artwork captures a moment from a performance of Ben Jonson's play "The Alchemist," with the celebrated actor David Garrick in the role of Abel Drugger. Alongside Garrick, the painting features William Burton as Subtle and John Palmer as Face, two other principal characters from the play.

The painting is a testament to Zoffany's skill in rendering the lively expressions and dynamic interactions of his subjects, which was particularly appreciated in his depictions of theatrical scenes. Zoffany's work often provides a valuable historical record of the performances and actors of the time, and this painting is no exception. It offers insight into 18th-century stagecraft, costume, and the popularity of Jonson's play, which was frequently revived during the period.

Garrick, one of the most influential figures in 18th-century British theatre, was known for his versatile acting and for bringing a more naturalistic style to the stage. His portrayal of Abel Drugger is captured with a sense of humor and character that was characteristic of his performances. The interaction between the three actors in the painting reflects the comedic and complex plot of "The Alchemist," which revolves around con artists and their schemes.

The painting not only serves as a cultural artifact but also as a piece of art that demonstrates Zoffany's ability to blend portraiture with the narrative, capturing the essence of theatrical performance. It is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as a historical document of the theatrical practices of the time. The work is part of Zoffany's significant contribution to British art and his series of paintings depicting scenes from the theatre, which have been instrumental in shaping the visual legacy of 18th-century British drama.
