A Carticature of Mlle. Nilsson as Ophelie. The backdrop for the sketch is a silhouette of the castle of Elsinore in front of which is a large glass bottle. Trapped within this bottle is the singer and the grotesque sketch enlarges her head and eyes and making it appears as if she is swimming, her long white dress flowing out behind her. A line of green frogs are watching this specatcle with interest, one of their number reaching for a pair of binoculars. Harry Beard Collection.
