La Gitana. is a 1840 by Edwin Dalton Smith, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a famous 1840s ballet star caught in a scene from the stage. Edwin Dalton Smith made a print of Marie Taglioni in “La Gitana,” a Romantic story ballet. Taglioni played a girl raised as a gypsy before returning to her noble family. The print copies the period costume: layered tarlatan skirt under a sheer top, a low-cut bodice and blouse. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
