The print shows a portrait of Jenny Lind as Amina in La Sonnambula. This print was published by G.H. Davidson, and it's interesting that it depicts a specific character from an opera. The fact that it's a print from the 19th century gives us a glimpse into the art and culture of that time. You can learn more about this style of art by looking into the work of artist Walker, Edmund.
