About this work

This print shows a scene from a play. It's from "The Fair Circassian, A Woeful Tragedy" by Mr. Pratt. The details in the print suggest it was made from an etching, which is a technique where a design is cut into a metal plate. The scene is dramatic, and to learn more about this kind of printmaking, look into the technique: sfumato.
