This print shows a dramatic scene with a man, likely an actor, in the center. He's dressed in old-fashioned clothing. The scene is colorful and lively. The print is interesting because it's a mix of old and new techniques - it was made using a machine, but colored by hand. To learn more about similar prints, look up the technique of chiaroscuro.
