Melle O. Priora is a 1851 by Léon Nöel, a Impressionism work, depicting dancer, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a dancer by Léon Nöel from 1851. It’s a quiet moment, not tied to any show or role. Melle O. Priora was only 15 when she danced in Paris and helped create the look we still picture for ballet today—low-necked bodice, bell skirt, and those early pointe shoes. If you want to see more, look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
