EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Mademoiselle Marie Salle as the French Terpsichore, engraved by Petit. The image captures the essence of this renowned muse of dance and dramatic chorus, known for her graceful movements and theatrical performances. Mademoiselle Marie Salle, also referred to as La Vestale, was a talented dancer who mesmerized audiences with her artistry. She performed at the prestigious Covent Garden in London, where she made a significant impact on the world of dance. In this portrait, Mademoiselle Marie Salle is depicted in a half-length pose adorned with delicate lace. A dove rests gently on her shoulder while she holds a rose flower in her hand, symbolizing beauty and grace. Her expression exudes confidence and elegance as she embodies the spirit of Terpsichore. The engraving by Petit beautifully captures every detail of Mademoiselle Marie Salle's costume change from heavy dress to muslin material - an innovation that revolutionized ballet attire during that era. This enchanting photograph is housed within the Bibliotheque de l'Opera Garnier in Paris, France - a fitting location for such an exquisite piece of art history. It serves as a testament to Mademoiselle Marie Salle's legacy as one of the most celebrated dancers and choreographers of her time.
