This drawing is by J. Branard of me, Lucile Grahn as the role of Catarina in the ballet Catarina or La Fille du Bandit. The drawing was painted in London, 1846 during the performance week, me starring as the role of Catarina the leader of the bandits. Shortly after the huge Pas De Quatre I was granted this role, going to show how the Pas De Quatre made me even more popular. In 1847 Catarina was restaged with Fanny Elssler as my former role, even though she didn’t perform it as well as I did, but you didn’t hear that from me.
