This print shows a woman dressed in men’s clothing. The artist used fine lines to capture her pose and expression. It’s a portrait, but not a typical one. The woman is Vesta Tilley, a famous performer in the early 1900s. She often dressed as a man on stage. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum’s collection for more prints like this.
