Using a utility sink for a sideboard, she appears to be slicing a ham with a butter knife.

Yeah, definitely a posed shot of dubious realism. I almost never wear my tiara in the kitchen. ;) It's probably for one of those "she's an opera singer, but she's just a hausfrau at heart" stories that get written about professional women even today.

Looks like there's quite a bit of fat on that ham . . . .
