EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored lithograph showcases the renowned dancer Georges Elie, portraying the character Inigo in the classic ballet "Paquita." The image, created in 1846, is an exquisite representation of Elie's artistry and the intricate details of the production. The ballet "Paquita" was first performed at the Academie Royale de Musique in Paris, under the direction of Edouard Deldevez, Joseph Mazilier, and Paul Foucher. This particular image is based on an illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie, as featured in Victor Dollet's Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris. In the image, Elie's powerful and graceful presence is on full display as Inigo, a gypsy character in the ballet. His fluid movements and expressive facial features bring the character to life, while the rich colors and intricate details of the costume add to the overall enchantment of the scene. The hand-coloring technique adds a layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a stunning work of art in its own right. The lithograph is a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the artists involved and offers a glimpse into the history of ballet and the art of dance during the 19th century. This image is a must-have for any ballet or dance enthusiast, as well as for those with an appreciation for the history of the performing arts. It is a beautiful and unique addition to any collection and a reminder of the timeless beauty and grace of the world of ballet.
