EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored lithograph captures the elegance and grace of a ballet dancer's costume from the production of "Le Roi des Halles" at the Theatre Lyrique in Paris during the 1850s. The dancer is depicted wearing a stunning white short-sleeved dress, featuring voluminous baggy culottes that are trimmed with a beautiful shade of blue. The costume is further adorned with a white hat, also trimmed with blue, adorned with delicate flowers and ribbons. "Le Roi des Halles" was a popular ballet production during the mid-19th century, and this costume design by Alexandre Lacauchie from Galerie Dramatique reflects the intricate details and attention to historical accuracy that were characteristic of the time. The lithograph, which is part of the "Costumes des Theatres de Paris 1853" collection, showcases the beauty and artistry of the ballet world during this period. The white dress and blue trim of the costume are reminiscent of the classic French ballet aesthetic, while the use of flowers and ribbons adds a touch of femininity and whimsy. The intricate details of the costume, from the delicate floral patterns to the folds of the culottes, are expertly captured in the handcolored lithograph, making it a beautiful and valuable piece of ballet history. The ballet world of the 1850s was a time of innovation and creativity, and this costume design by Lacauchie is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating the stunning productions of the time. This lithograph is not only a beautiful work of art in its own right, but also a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of ballet during this fascinating period in history.
