Carte-de-visite depicting actress Pauline Lucca as Cherubino in 'The Marriage of Figaro' at the Theatre Royal Covent Garden, June 1866. She is depicted full length, slumped on a quilted chair, with her arms behind her head and she faces down to the left. She wears a striped doublet jacket and shorts, with cavalier boots. A feather hat lies on the floor next to her feet which rest on a cushion and she is seated next to a table with a vase and jewellery box.
