"Mrs Abington (1737–1815)" is a celebrated portrait by the renowned 18th-century British painter Sir Joshua Reynolds. The painting, created in 1764, depicts Frances Abington, a famous comic actress of the time, known for her wit, charm, and beauty. Mrs. Abington, whose real name was Frances Barton, was a prominent figure in London's theatrical circles and a fashion icon, admired and emulated by the society ladies of her day.

The portrait is a testament to Reynolds's skill in capturing the character and social standing of his sitters. In this work, he portrays Mrs. Abington as the character Miss Prue, from William Congreve's play "Love for Love," a role for which she was particularly acclaimed. The choice of character is significant, as it reflects both the public persona and the professional success of the actress.

Reynolds's painting is characterized by its vibrant colors, sophisticated use of light, and the detailed rendering of textures, from the luxurious fabrics of Mrs. Abington's costume to the softness of her skin. The portrait is also notable for its expressive quality, with Mrs. Abington's playful and engaging expression suggesting her lively personality and theatrical prowess.

As a work of art, "Mrs Abington" is an important example of Reynolds's portraiture, which combined the grandeur of history painting with the more intimate genre of portraiture. It is held in high esteem not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural significance, offering insight into the social dynamics and celebrity culture of 18th-century England.

The painting is part of the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to be studied and admired by scholars and the public alike. As with many of Reynolds's portraits, "Mrs Abington" has been the subject of extensive art historical research, contributing to our understanding of the period's aesthetics and the role of portraiture in society.
