About this work

This print shows a stage actor in costume from a popular opera. It was made in 1791 by Pierre Noël Violet, a printmaker working in London. The picture captures one moment in a play called *La Belle Pescatrice*. It’s one of many portraits Violet made of performers. This one focuses on Lorenzo Cipriani in the role of Don Alfonso Scoglio.
