This print shows two women in matching ballet costumes, arms raised as if mid-dance. Their outfits are dark blue with gold trim, layered skirts in light gray, and white gloves. Both wear flower hairpieces and stand on tiptoes, one facing left, the other right. The background is plain, but the edges of the image have ornate black-and-white borders. The artist signed it "Lassalle" in the corner—likely Louis Lassalle, who worked in the 1840s. These costumes look like they’re from a ballet performance, with lots of detail in the fabric patterns. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more prints like it.
