About this work

This print shows a full-length woman in an old-fashioned dress. Her pose feels stiff, like a statue. The background is plain. She looks toward the viewer with a serious face. This is one of many prints made to sell in shops. It shows a scene from a popular play of the 1830s. The woman’s costume hints at Italy, but it’s more fancy than real. Look up Middleton, John next.
