EDITORS COMMENTS
Mlle. Florentine, a renowned ballerina of her time, is captured in this handcoloured lithograph as she gracefully embodies the role of La Gouailleuse, or the Cheeky Girl, in the ballet "Les Mystères de Passy" at the Theatre des Folies Dramatiques in Paris, 1844. The image, an illustration by Victor Dollet from Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris, beautifully portrays Mlle. Florentine's playful and mischievous character, as she dances in a flowing, white tutu adorned with roses and a headdress of flowers. The background of the lithograph showcases the elaborate stage setting, with a backdrop of trees and a moonlit night. Mlle. Florentine, whose real name was Alexandrine Lacauchie, was a celebrated dancer during the Romantic era of ballet. She was known for her exceptional technique, expressive movements, and captivating stage presence. In "Les Mystères de Passy," she brought to life the character of La Gouailleuse, a role that required her to be both cheeky and flirtatious, adding an element of humor and lightness to the production. This lithograph, created by Victor Dollet under the direction of Louis Lasalle, is a testament to the artistry and creativity of the time. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the scene to life, offering a glimpse into the world of 19th-century ballet and the captivating performances of its stars like Mlle. Florentine.
