About the Item
Antique Ballet Prints Compilation with Delicate Rococo Costumes, circa 1860
Description: This captivating compilation of antique ballet prints, dated 1860, showcases two exquisite hand-colored engravings featuring the elegant ballerinas Mlle Sallé and Mlle Camargo. These remarkable works were drawn and engraved by Paul and François Pauquet, highly regarded 19th-century French artists known for their meticulous attention to detail and faithful historical reproductions. Inspired by the original works of Lancret, a celebrated Rococo painter, these prints transport viewers back to the refined courts of Louis XV’s reign.
Mlle Sallé and Mlle Camargo are depicted in graceful dance poses, their movements captured with a fluidity that evokes the enchanting performances of the period. They are adorned in sumptuous costumes, crafted with layers of soft pink and creamy white fabrics, and lavishly decorated with intricate floral motifs and bows. The refined Rococo style is evident in the fine lace, delicate embroidery, and the sensuous curves of the dancers' gowns, reflecting the opulent and sophisticated tastes of 18th-century France. These images offer a glimpse into the world of the ballet and the courtly society that surrounded it, making them both artistic treasures and cultural artifacts.
The Pauquet brothers’ prints are renowned for their historical accuracy and charming compositions, making them essential for collectors of dance history, antique costume studies, and French Rococo art. Their artistry breathes life into these historical figures, immortalizing them in a delicate yet vivid manner. The beautiful colors and refined lines of these prints highlight the grace and elegance of the period’s most talented dancers.
