EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases the grace and elegance of Mlle. Maria Jacob as she performs in the pastiche opera "Robert Bruce" by Gioachino Rossini at the Academie Royale de Musique in Paris, 1846. The image, based on an illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie, provides a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the ballet world during this era. Mlle. Maria Jacob, a renowned ballerina of her time, is depicted in the midst of a delicate pirouette, her flowing skirt swirling around her as she gracefully lifts one leg. The intricate details of her costume, designed by Louis Lasalle for the Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris, are beautifully captured in the lithograph. Her bodice is adorned with intricate beadwork and sequins, while her skirt is layered with multiple tiers of tulle and satin. Her hair is styled in an elegant chignon, held in place by a delicate headpiece. The opera "Robert Bruce" was a pastiche, meaning it was created by combining elements from various sources, in this case, Rossini's music and a libretto by Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges. The ballet was a popular success and showcased the talents of Mlle. Maria Jacob and other prominent dancers of the time. This lithograph is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, providing a window into the world of 19th century ballet and the captivating performances of its stars like Mlle. Maria Jacob.
