Mademoiselle Fleury. is a 1 by Alfred Edward Chalon, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a dancer from the 1840s in a fancy ball gown instead of a ballet costume. It’s part of Romanticism, a movement that loved drama and emotion. The print points out how close ballet clothes were to everyday fashion back then. Most artists liked to show dancers in costume, so this image stands out. Look up the artist: Chalon, Alfred Edward (RA).
