Mlle. Rivière as Lucette in La jolie fiancé: A Vision of Elegance and Grace on the Parisian Stage This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving captures the captivating performance of Mlle. Rivière as Lucette in the play La jolie fiancé at the Theatre du Vaudeville in Paris during the early 19th century. The image, taken from Charles Malos Almanach des Spectacles par K. et Z, published by Chez Janet in 1818, offers a glimpse into the world of Parisian theater and the artistry of one of its most celebrated dancers. La jolie fiancé, or The Pretty Fiancée, was a popular comedy play written by Charles-Gaspard Delestre-Poirson. The story revolves around Lucette, a young woman who must navigate the complexities of love and deception to secure a happy ending. Mlle. Rivière's portrayal of Lucette was undoubtedly a highlight of the production, showcasing her grace, charm, and exceptional dancing skills. The engraving beautifully captures the essence of Mlle. Rivière's performance, with her delicate pose, expressive face, and elegant costume. The intricate details of her dress, adorned with flowers and lace, add to the overall allure of the image. The stage behind her is set with an ornate backdrop, further emphasizing the grandeur and sophistication of the production. This engraving serves as a testament to the artistry and talent of Mlle. Rivière and the enduring appeal of Parisian theater during the Romantic era. It offers a glimpse into a bygone era, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and grace of live performance and the role it played in shaping the cultural landscape of the time.
