About this work

This print shows a woman dressed as Fatima in a theatrical performance. The woman is Madame Vestris, a famous actress of the time. She was known for her roles in plays and operas, and this print likely advertised one of her performances. The print is an example of work from this era, similar to what you might find by looking up the technique of chiaroscuro.
