De Wilde made his name principally as a theatrical portraitist and his studies were the source of a number of portrait engravings. The present group of popular actors shows Charles Farley (1771-1859), Henry Erskine Johnston (1777-1838?), Johnston's wife Nanette (née Parker, b.1782), George Frederick Cooke (1756-1812), Samuel Simmons (c.1777-1819), John Quick (1748-1831) and John Fawcett (1768-1837).
