She was an opera singer (in Sweden) and here she is playing Juliet in "Romio and Juliet".

Born in 1841, wow.

I was like "how do you know", and then I realised she has a wiki 😅

Out of curiosity, what is her ethnicity? Is she Caucasian?

She's Jewish. She looks to have a really dark compexion in many photos, but her dad (there's a drawing of him on his wikipedia) looks a lot more typical Swedish from that time. She has such an interesting look, doesn't she?

Yes, that is exactly why I was asking. She looks like she has some "color" to her so I was curious.
By the way, I forgot to say: your great-great-great-grandmother was beautiful! :-)
