EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Costume of a Gentle Peasant Woman" transports us back to the late 18th century. Created by Jean-Baptiste Martin, a renowned artist of his time, this print showcases the attire worn by a character called Paysanne Galante in Le Ballet de la Provencale and other ballets of similar style. The gentle peasant woman depicted here exudes elegance and grace as she dons her rustic outfit. The baroque-inspired dress flows beautifully around her figure, accentuating every movement as she dances across the stage. This ballerina's portrayal captures the essence of both simplicity and sophistication. Martin's attention to detail is evident in this exquisite illustration.
