This print shows a dancer from a Paris ballet in about 1850. The costume gives a hint of Spanish style—bell skirt, tiered layers, fitted top. Caroline Lassia later taught at the Paris Opera for years. The print was part of a push to show off many dancers at once. Costume details told the audience who the character was. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
