EDITORS COMMENTS
Mlle. Sofia Fuoco, a renowned French ballet dancer, gracefully poses in the title role of "Betty" in this exquisite handcoloured lithograph from the Academie Royale de Musique in Paris, 1846. The image, captured by the skilled illustrator Alexandre Lacauchie, is a beautiful representation of Fuoco's artistry and elegance. The intricately detailed costume, designed by Louis Lasalle for the Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris, adds to the allure of this scene. Fuoco's expressive face and poised body language convey the depth of emotion required for the character of Betty, a role that showcased her exceptional talent and versatility as a ballerina. The lithograph, published by Victor Dollet, offers a glimpse into the world of 19th-century French ballet and the artistry of its most celebrated performers. This rare and stunning visual document provides a valuable insight into the history of ballet and the legacy of Mlle. Sofia Fuoco, whose name continues to be revered in the annals of dance history.
