Cerrito, Fanny. La Lituana. Kolorierte Lithographie von Jules Bouvier Ca. 48 x 34 cm. Mit Passepartout unter Glas in mehrfach profilierter, teilvergoldeter Holzprofilleiste gerahmt. 65 x 50 cm. London, Thomas McLean, 1844. Die Meisterpose der Primaballerina Fanny Cerrito (1817-1909), die es vor allem in London zu Weltruhm brachte. "La Lituana" war ein reiner Solotanz der Cerrito, den sie schon in ihrem Londoner Debut vom 2. Mai 1840 präsentieren konnte: "Her fur-trimmed jacket suggests Polish dress, so La Lituana may have been a mazurka, the Polish national dance based on the proud carriage of the body, stamping of the feet and clicking of the heels, danced in 3/4 time with the strong accent on the second beat of the bar. National dances and settings were popular in the 1840s as audiences became increasingly aware of 'abroad' and exotic locations. Scotland, Spain, Hungary, Poland and the Balkans were all popular settings and some ballets were set as far afield as India, giving the opportunity for balleticized versions of national dances, like the Cachucha, mazurka, polka, polonaise, tarentella or Cracovienne" (Marie Rambert). – Unwesentlich gleichmäßig gebräunt, kaum fleckig, sehr schönes Blatt in höchst stilvollen Rahmen, in außergewöhnlich leuchtenden Farben sorgsam koloriert.
