H Beard Print Collection is a 1845 by Smyth, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows four dancers in a circle. The artist, Smyth, made it in 1845 as part of the Romanticism style. It’s a black-and-white illustration from the Victoria and Albert Museum. The dancers wear matching flowery dresses and garlands. Their poses show a graceful moment from a ballet called “New Pas de Quatre.” Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
The illustration depicts four dancers performing a *pas de quatre* at Her Majesty's Theatre, arranged in a circle. The central dancer extends her left arm upward toward the hand of another dancer to the right, who stands on pointe, while the dancer on the far left leans inward to meet her hand. The fourth dancer, positioned behind the central figure, raises both arms above her head. All four wear matching dresses with full skirts, fitted bodices, low square necklines, cap sleeves, and a rose trim at the front, along with identical floral garlands in their hair.
