This print is from the H Beard Print Collection. It's a work by F. Noël from the early 19th century. The print depicts a scene from The Barber of Seville, showing an actor playing Comte Almaviva. This gives us a glimpse into the theatrical themes of the time. To learn more about printmaking techniques used in this era, look up the technique of sfumato.
