EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Vera Fokina, a renowned Russian ballerina of the Ballets Russes company. Captured by an English photographer in the early 20th century, this image is part of a private collection that highlights Fokina's grace and talent as a dancer. Fokina, born in 1886 and passing away in 1958, was known for her exceptional performances with the Ballets Russes. This particular photograph comes from a souvenir programme for a season of Russian opera and ballet at the prestigious Theatre Royal in Drury Lane, London. The programme was created by M de Brunoff from France in 1914. In this portrait, Fokina exudes elegance and poise while wearing an exquisite costume that epitomizes the beauty of ballet. As one of Britain's most celebrated performers during the early 20th century, she captivated audiences with her impeccable technique and emotive storytelling through dance. Vera Fokina was not only recognized for her incredible talent but also for being the wife of Mikhail Fokin (also spelled Michael or Michel Fokine), another prominent figure within the world of ballet choreography. Together, they left an indelible mark on British culture and European performing arts. This stunning print preserves both history and artistry as it immortalizes Vera Fokina's legacy as a remarkable ballerina who graced stages across Europe with her extraordinary talent.
