This print shows a dancer named Mlle. Sontag in a Greek-style tunic. She holds a tambourine and stands in a peaceful landscape. Her loose hair is woven with bright flowers. The print is a chromolithograph, a colorful printing method popular in the 1800s. The image was later linked to Mlle. Henr, another performer.
