This print shows a singer from the opera *I Puritani*. It’s by Alfred Crowquill, made in 1850 as a print, mixing Impressionism and Realism. Crowquill drew Luigi Lablache, a famous Italian bass singer who often performed in London. Lablache even gave singing lessons to Queen Victoria. His London performances started in 1830 and ran every summer for years. See more prints by Alfred Crowquill.
