This print shows a woman dressed as Brunnhilde from Wagner's Die Walküre. She's wearing a helmet and holding a shield. The costume is detailed and ornate, which suggests the print was made to showcase the opera's costumes and sets. The fact that it was published in an illustrated review implies that the print was meant to promote the performance. The print is now part of the collection at the museum: Victoria and Albert Museum.
