This print shows a woman in a staged scene from a famous play. It was made by Henry Fradelle, a French artist, in 1825. The museum calls it a portrait, but it’s really a theater moment. It’s part of a set called the H Beard Print Collection. The play is The Marriage of Figaro, and the woman plays Susanna. That’s the funny maid who outsmarts a bossy count. See how Romanticism loves drama and feeling. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to find more prints like it.
