Amalie Taglioni
1830-1839
This elegant portrait captures Amalie Taglioni, a celebrated ballerina and sister of the legendary Marie Taglioni, looking back over her shoulder with a serene gaze. Drawn by the renowned Prussian artist Franz Krüger—famous for painting the King of Prussia and his horses—this lithograph perfectly showcases the romantic fashion of the 1830s with its delicate off-the-shoulder lace bodice. While her sister Marie revolutionized ballet by dancing on her toes, Amalie carved out her own successful career on stages across Europe, immortalized here in a moment of quiet grace.
