This print shows a woman on stage in a long dress. She’s caught mid-motion, like she’s singing or reacting. The work is a print, not a painting, from 1836. The scene comes from Donizetti’s opera Anna Bolena. Giulia Grisi played the lead role. The print itself was published by J. Mitchell that same year. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
