This print shows Louise Fleury as Beatrix in a scene from the ballet *The Beauty of Ghent*. Brandard used ink on paper to capture her pose. The image records a ballet moment from 1844 London. Fleury balances on pointe, a new ballet trick at the time. The crescent moon and arrows mark her as Diana, goddess of the hunt. This print was published in London by Messrs Fores. Look up Brandard, John.
