This print shows a woman dressed as a tragic muse. She's wearing a classical costume and looks serious. The print is based on a painting by Joshua Reynolds, and it's interesting because it depicts a famous actress, Sarah Siddons, in a dramatic role. The way the print uses light and dark to create depth is notable, similar to the technique of chiaroscuro.
