About this work

This print shows a costume sketch for a stage show called "Triomphe de l’Amour." It comes from the 1700s and uses simple ink on paper. The costume was meant for a ballet or play about love’s victory. Only a handful of these prints survive today, so we’re lucky to have it. Check out Jean Berlin’s other theater designs at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
