History: as the dedication indicates, the painting comes by inheritance from Emma Calvé (1858-1942), famous singer of the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th.
It is probably a painting representing the main character of "L'ami Fritz", an opera by Mascagni performed in 1891 with Emma Calvé in the role of Suzel.
