EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured engraving captures the elegance and charm of fashionable couples engaging in the popular dance, La Sauteuse, during the early 19th century. The dance, also known as the "Jumping Dance," was a lively and spirited pair dance that gained popularity in Europe around 1800. In this image, taken from Pierre de la Mesangere's Le Bon Genre publication in Paris in 1817, we see a man skillfully gripping the woman around the waist while jumping from foot to foot and spinning her around. The woman, dressed in a fashionable Empire-style gown with a low decollete neckline and full skirt, gracefully follows the man's lead. The man, wearing a satirical hose and tails, adds a touch of humor to the scene. The satirical hose, a type of stocking with a bulbous foot, was a popular fashion accessory during this time period, often worn for entertainment and social events. The couple's lively and playful dance movements reflect the lively and carefree spirit of the Regency and Napoleonic eras. The intricate handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a beautiful and captivating representation of fashionable life during this time period.
