Description
2 prints : lithograph, b&w; 39 x 30 cm. or smaller.
Summary
Two half-length portraits of fashionably attired women. The print captioned Rosine may be an image from Grevedon's Alphabet des dames, first published in Paris in 1828. The sitter in the print dated 1831 has not been identified; neither the singer Giulia Grisi nor her sister Giuditta Grisi appeared in Paris until 1832, and the ballerina Carlotta Grisi did not make her performing debut until 1836.
