This is a black-and-white print of a woman dressed as a man. She’s wearing a big, curly wig, a fancy coat with buttons, and a sash. In her right hand, she holds a guitar, and in her left, a scroll or ribbon. Behind her, a crowd of smaller figures watches from a stage or balcony. The text at the bottom says “Miss Love in the Character of Don Giovanni,” which hints she’s playing a role from a play. The print looks old, with some wear and fading. If you’re curious about where to see this, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
