H Beard Print Collection

About this work

This print shows a moment from the ballet *Giroflé Girofla* on stage at the Opera Comique. Made in 1874, it’s a newspaper cutting turned into art. The scene captures performers in motion with sharp lines and soft shading. It’s part of a big collection called the H Beard Print Collection. The print mixes Impressionism and Realism, so you get bright light and careful details in the same picture. Want to see more? Check the Victoria and Albert Museum.
