Print Collection is a 1844 by Francois Louis Lanfant, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows Clara Webster performing in the ballet *The Beauty of Ghent*. She took the role of Agnes, sister to the main character Beatrix, during a London revival in 1844. Webster was the top British dancer of the 1840s. Critics called her style bold and lively. The flowers on the floor hint at cheering fans throwing gifts. Look up the artist Lanfant, Francois Louis next.
