This print shows a stage moment from a famous opera. It’s a black-and-white image made in 1837, part of the H Beard Print Collection. The scene is from Donizetti’s L’Elisir d’Amore, first staged in Milan in 1832. The artist captured an actor playing Nemorino, wearing a cummerbund. If you like this Romantic-era stage print, look up more works by the artist.
