Mr. William Farren (1786-1861) was a distinguished English actor renowned for his adept portrayals of elderly characters in comedic and dramatic roles. One of his most celebrated performances was as Sir Peter Teazle in Richard Brinsley Sheridan's classic play "The School for Scandal." This role solidified Farren's reputation as a master of character acting, particularly in the genre of Restoration comedy.

Born into a theatrical family, Farren's career spanned over five decades, during which he became a staple of the London stage. His interpretation of Sir Peter Teazle was particularly noted for its depth and nuance, bringing to life the complexities of a character who is both comically irascible and deeply sympathetic.

Richard Dighton, a prominent caricaturist and artist of the early 19th century, captured Farren's portrayal of Sir Peter Teazle in a well-known illustration. Dighton's work is celebrated for its keen observation and satirical edge, and his depiction of Farren is no exception. The illustration not only highlights Farren's physical embodiment of the character but also serves as a testament to his skill in conveying the subtleties of Sir Peter's persona.
