This caricature is part of a series by Ward, who was famous for his portraits of celebrities and politicians of the time, capturing their distinctive features and personalities in a satirical manner. The piece reflects du Maurier's prominence in the Edwardian theatre scene, where he was celebrated not only for his acting but also for his role as a manager. The caricature is executed in Ward's signature style, characterized by insightful and often humorous portrayals that offer a glimpse into the subject's character.
