Three Graces of the Ballet of ***: Elegant Ballet Dancers in Traditional Costume This exquisite handcoloured engraving, titled "Three Graces of the Ballet of ***," showcases three elegant ballet dancers in traditional costumes, each embodying grace and beauty in their unique ways. The first dancer, dressed in a turban and shawl, gracefully poses with one arm extended, revealing the delicate curves of her shoulders and throat. The second dancer, holding a tambourine and adorned with flowers, displays the fluidity of her arms and legs as she raises her skirt, while the third dancer, carrying a basket and wearing long plaits tied with ribbons, showcases the elegance of her neck and feet. The engraving is a stunning example of the satirical fashion plates published by Pierre de la Mesangere in his series "Le Bon Genre" in Paris, 1817. The Three Graces, a mythological representation of beauty, charm, and grace, are a common theme in art and literature of the time. This engraving captures the essence of the Three Graces, highlighting the dancers' form and elegance, with each movement revealing the naked or seemingly naked forms of their arms, shoulders, throat, legs, and feet. The intricate details of their costumes, from the flowers on the second dancer's dress to the ribbons on the third dancer's plaits, add to the overall beauty and allure of the image. The Three Graces of the Ballet of *** serve as a reminder of the timeless elegance and grace of ballet, as well as the artistic innovation and beauty of the fashion of the time. This engraving is a must-have for any collection of ballet or fashion history, and a beautiful addition to any home or office.
