Depiction of Mrs Hunter (likely actress Maria Hunter) in the role of Penelope in Nicholas Rowe's Ulysses, possibly performed in the 1755-6 season at Covent Garden (but uncertain): see The Plays and Poems of Nicholas Rowe, Volume II: The Middle Period Play by Michael Caines, p. 14. Plate from Bell's British Theatre, January 1778., Donated alongside item ID 17819, which is unrelated and therefore not a source for the production.
