EDITORS COMMENTS
Felicite Hullin: A Vision of Grace and Beauty in the Ballet La Paysanne Supposee, 1822 In this exquisite handcolored stipple copperplate engraving, we are transported back in time to the Italian Opera House at Haymarket in London, where the enchanting world of ballet came alive. At the heart of this scene is the graceful figure of Felicite Hullin, a dancer of extraordinary talent and beauty. The image, titled "Felicite Hullin, dancer, in La Paysanne Supposee," is a testament to the artistry of the era. The ballet La Paysanne Supposee, or "The Supposed Peasant Girl," was a popular production during the Romantic period, and Felicite Hullin's performance as the lead dancer left audiences in awe. The engraving, created by Robert Cooper after a painting by Frederic de Waldeck, captures the essence of Felicite's performance with breathtaking detail. Her flowing costume, adorned with intricate patterns and delicate fabrics, is a feast for the eyes. Her expressive face, filled with emotion and intensity, conveys the depth of her character. And her poised and elegant pose, accentuated by the subtle curves of her body, speaks to the grace and beauty of the ballet art form. The handcoloring adds an extra layer of magic to the image, bringing the colors of Felicite's costume and the richness of the stage setting to life. The intricate details of the engraving, from the folds of her skirt to the intricate patterns of her headdress, are brought to vibrant life by the skilled hand of the colorist. This stunning image is a rare glimpse into the world of ballet during the Romantic period, and a tribute to the talent and beauty of Felicite Hullin, a dancer whose performances left a lasting impression on audiences of the time.
