The image showcases Madame Vestris, a renowned English actress and dancer, in the role of Blonda, a beautiful and mischievous maiden from the Middle East, adorned in vibrant, intricately designed costumes and accessories. Blonda, a beloved character from the comic opera "The Seraglio" by Christoph Willibald Gluck, is depicted here holding a mandolin, a popular musical instrument of the Middle East, and playing it with an expression of pure joy and delight.
