''Mrs. Abington, 1771'' is a portrait painting by Sir Joshua Reynolds, a leading English painter of the 18th century known for his influential portraits and as a prominent member of the Royal Academy of Arts. The painting depicts Frances Abington (née Barton), a renowned actress of the time, who was celebrated for her comic roles and became a fashion icon and a symbol of wit and beauty.

Reynolds's portrait captures Mrs. Abington in the role of Miss Prue, a character from William Congreve's play ''Love for Love''. The choice of this role is significant, as it was one of her most acclaimed performances, showcasing her comedic talent and solidifying her status as a theatrical star. The painting is a testament to Reynolds's skill in portraiture, blending the grandeur of the Grand Manner style with a sense of intimacy and character study.

In the portrait, Mrs. Abington is shown with an expressive pose and lively eyes that convey her vivacious personality. Reynolds's use of light and shadow, along with his refined brushwork, creates a sense of depth and texture, particularly in the rendering of her elaborate costume and the lace details. The portrait is not only a representation of the actress but also an embodiment of the cultural and artistic milieu of the period, reflecting the interplay between the theatrical world and the visual arts.

''Mrs. Abington, 1771'' is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as a historical document of 18th-century British theatre and society. The painting is part of the collection of the Yale Center for British Art, where it continues to be studied and admired for its portrayal of one of the era's most captivating figures and for its significance in the oeuvre of Sir Joshua Reynolds.
