EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph depicts a female dancer gracefully performing a mazurka, a traditional Polish folk dance, in the authentic costume of a woman from Krakow, Poland. The image was created in 1845 and was based on an illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie for Victor Dollet's Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris. The dancer wears a voluminous, richly embroidered cape, adorned with intricate floral patterns and fringes, which is draped over her shoulders and arms. Beneath the cape, she dons a fitted, high-waisted bodice, paired with full, pleated breeches. The dancer completes her ensemble with a pair of tall, high-heeled boots, featuring decorative lacing and a distinctive turned-down top. The mazurka, a lively and spirited dance, originated in the Mazurian region of Poland and gained popularity in European courts during the 16th century. This particular performance took place at the Academie Royale de Musique in Paris, showcasing the cultural exchange and appreciation for the arts between Poland and France during the mid-19th century. The meticulous attention to detail in the handcolouring of this lithograph brings the dancer and her costume to life, transporting us back in time to witness a moment of historical and artistic significance. The image serves as a testament to the enduring allure of traditional Polish dance and the rich cultural heritage it represents.
