Madlle Fanny Cerito (sic) is a 20 by John Deffett Francis, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a woman in a flowing white ballet costume. Her arms float up like wings. The background is dark, so she glows by contrast. In the 1840s, ballet loved ghostly themes. People craved escape from smoky factories and crowded cities. This Sylph looks pure, untouchable—like a dream. Check out the same artist’s prints at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
