EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored lithograph depicts the renowned ballerina Louise Pierson in the role of Ida from the ballet pantomime "La Laitiere Suisse" or "The Swiss Milkmaid," which premiered at the Theatre de la Porte St. Martin in Paris in 1823. The production was a collaboration between Antoine Titus and Frederic-Auguste Blache, with choreography and costumes designed by the former and scenic designs by the latter. Louise Pierson, a celebrated dancer of her time, gracefully embodies the character of Ida in this exquisite image. Dressed in traditional Swiss attire, complete with a white apron, red headscarf, and wooden milk pail, she exudes a sense of innocence and charm. The intricate details of her costume, from the delicate floral patterns to the meticulously rendered folds of her skirt, are beautifully captured in the lithograph. The background of the image showcases the rustic setting of a Swiss countryside scene, with rolling hills, a quaint farmhouse, and a picturesque lake. This idyllic backdrop further enhances the enchanting atmosphere of the pantomime. The illustration was created by Alexandre-Marie Colin and published by F. Noel in 1825 as part of the collection "Portraits d'Acteurs et d'Actrices dans différents rôles." The hand-coloring adds an extra layer of depth and richness to the image, making it a stunning and timeless work of art that transports us back to the romantic era of ballet.
