This print shows a key scene from *Giselle*, the famous Romantic ballet. It captures the moment when Giselle, a young peasant girl, becomes a spirit yet saves her lover from vengeful ghostly women called the Wilis. The print was made in the 1840s by John Brandard, who specialized in ballet images. The scene comes from Act II, where love triumphs over revenge.
