This print shows a scene from a comic opera. It's interesting because it depicts a specific moment from La Fille de Madame Angot. The opera was popular back then, and this print gives us a glimpse into what it might have looked like on stage. You can learn more about this type of art by looking into the technique of chiaroscuro.
