Photograph of the Italian actress Adelaide Ristori (1822-1906) posed with two children, re-enacting a scene from the play 'Medea'. The two children lean against Ristori, who places her right arm around them. She holds up her left arm, holding a shawl in her left hand, and gazes to the right. The group are dressed in Classical-inspired garbs.
