Prints like this one freeze moments in time. Sebastien Coeure made this in the early 1800s. It’s a portrait that shows Angelo Costanitini dressed as Mezzetino, a lively Commedia dell’Arte character. The print comes from a series called “Galerie Theatrale.” That means it was one of many small theater portraits sold to fans. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
