This beautiful brooch from Giselle Ballet's Pas de Deux
was hand painted in Russia and is signed by the artist.
The brooch's intricate detail in the costumes,
highlighted with a gold filigree border make this a family keepsake!
It is signed by the Russian artist. 2.5'' circle.
NOTE: It is in Giselle that Petipa, (who did some work on the original choreography),
created the ballet-blanc, or corps of women, in white (the Wilis), that has become a symbol of classical ballet.
