Marie Guy-Stephan dancing 'Las Boleras de Cadiz'
ca. 1844
Lynch, J. H.
T&P
On a terrace, before a low wall, with a square building to right background and low bushes to left, stands a full length female figure, facing left, wearing the Romantic Ballet version of a Spanish dress, with front-laced low cut bodice and short sleeves and knee-length full skirt with deep flounce of black lace above the hem. She leans back from the waist, her left leg extended to front, her left arm curved over her head, her right arm held down, and she holds castanets.
Have a concern, a correction, or something to add?
