The image, taken from the collection "Portraits d'Acteurs et d'Actrices dans différents rôles" by F. Noel, offers a glimpse into the world of ballet during this period. Marie Cheza, also known as Mlle Cheza, was a celebrated dancer of her time, known for her exceptional talent and captivating stage presence. In the role of Jenny, she embodies the character with grace, poise, and expressiveness, as evidenced by her flowing movements and emotive facial expressions. The ballet-pantomime "Jenny" was a popular production during the Romantic era, and this image provides a window into the elaborate costumes and staging of the time.
