Summary
Sheet music cover illustration depicting a scene from Jean Coralli's ballet La péri. Four women dance before a man who reclines on a divan. Behind the quartet, another woman emerges from a tentlike skirt surmounted by three women seen from the waist up. A man in a tall headdress, possibly a servant, stands at right. The room is lavishly decorated with architectural elements in the Mughal style, and contains several vases of flowers.
