H Beard Print Collection is a 1831 by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows two actors on stage in costume. One wears a dark hat and holds a sword. The other has a loose white shirt and looks surprised. The actors play roles from operas staged in the 1820s and 1830s. Their poses copy stage moments meant to thrill the audience. The print was made after one of these shows became popular. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more theater prints like this.
