This print shows the opera singer Giulia Grisi dressed as Norma. It’s an engraving from 1837 based on the 1831 premiere of Bellini’s opera at La Scala in Milan. The print was made by Richard Lane, an English artist known for prints of stage performers and historical subjects. If you like this kind of Romantic-era theater art, look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
