Description:

An elderly woman in a hooded cloak sets out on a walk along a tree-lined path, with a pond in the foreground and a church spire in the distance.

The caption reads Nina, ou la folle par amour in the original French and is the title of a one-act musical play first performed on May 15, 1786. It tells the story of a woman who loses her sanity when she thinks her fiancé has been murdered.
