This print shows a desert scene from an old opera. Jules David made it in the 1800s. It’s a print, not a painting—so it’s one of many identical copies. The scene comes from Donizetti’s opera Don Sébastien. Two famous singers, Madame Stoltz and Monsieur Duprez, appear in it. A Paris publisher called Formentin & Cie put it out. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more prints like this.
