She was the niece of Marie Taglioni, greatest of all the ballerinas of the time and her father, Paul, was a leading dancer and choreographer.  \n\r\nMarie Paul is performing a solo based on a Polish dance; red and white are their national colours and the square cap is a feature of their national dress. The yellow flashes on her boot heels are metal trims or small spurs that chime when the heels are clicked together, a characteristic movement in Polish folk dance.  \n\r\nNational dances and settings were popular in the 1840s as audiences became increasingly aware of ‘abroad’ and distant 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.","physicalDescription":"The dancer is in a landscape with mountains, trees and a winding river.  She stands half-turned to her left, weight on her left foot, the right pointed to the front; her right hand is raised to her ear and her left hand is at the waist.  Over her low-necked, knee-length white dress is a short-sleeved skirted red jacket, trimmed with white fur, fastened at the waist.  Her hair is pulled back into a long single plait finished with a red ribbon and she wears a square Polish cap, trimmed with white fur, with a cockade and a gold tassel.  On her feet are pink ankle boots with red toes and low gold heels.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Brandard, John","id":"A8175"},"association":{"text":"artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":""},{"name":{"text":"Brandard, John","id":"A8175"},"association":{"text":"lithographer","id":"AAT25175"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"M. & N.
