This print shows a woman dressed as a fairy or dancer. She’s mid-movement, one arm raised, the other holding a fan with delicate wings. Her dress is light and flowing, covered in small floral patterns, and she wears a wreath of flowers in her hair. The background is a soft, blurred landscape with trees and a sky. The name at the bottom reads *Mademoiselle Taglioni*, which was likely her stage name. This print was made in 1831, and the artist was Alfred Edward Chalon.
