Fanny Elsler
1840-1849
Meet Fanny Elsler, the 19th-century superstar ballerina who had everyone from commoners to kings completely obsessed with her. In this striking lithograph by Franz Krüger, she's captured in her iconic romantic ballet costume, complete with a fluffy tutu, a crown of flowers, and a dramatic peacock feather attached to her back. She turns to look over her shoulder with a confident, almost mischievous smile, perfectly capturing the charm that made her the most celebrated dancer of her era and a fierce rival to the legendary Marie Taglioni.
