"The Mask" is an engraving created by the Venetian-born artist Luigi Schiavonetti (1765–1810), based on a painting by the renowned British portraitist Sir Joshua Reynolds. Published in 1794 by T. Simpson and Darling and Thompson, this work exemplifies the collaborative nature of printmaking and the dissemination of art in the late 18th century. Schiavonetti, who was known for his skill in translating paintings into prints, captured the essence of Reynolds' original composition, allowing for a wider audience to appreciate the artistry of one of Britain's leading portrait painters.

Sir Joshua Reynolds, the first president of the Royal Academy of Arts in London, was a pivotal figure in British art and is often credited with elevating the status of portrait painting. His original painting, which served as the basis for Schiavonetti's engraving, would have been accessible only to a select few. Through Schiavonetti's meticulous engraving process, the artwork was reproduced with fine detail and made available to the public, thus contributing to the era's burgeoning print culture.

"The Mask" reflects the aesthetic values of the time, showcasing Reynolds' skill in capturing the grace and elegance of his subjects, often imbued with classical references and allegorical elements. Schiavonetti's interpretation of Reynolds' work is a testament to his own artistic abilities and the importance of printmaking in the history of art. The engraving remains an important example of the collaborative efforts between painters and printmakers, and the role of publishers in the art world of the 18th century.
