Provenance:
Ex-Lot 168, The Dame Margot Fonteyn Collection, Christie's, South Kensington, 12 December, 2000.
The photograph shows Fonteyn, prima ballerina assoluta of the Royal Ballet, rehearsing on stage with Rudolf Nureyev for Act II of Giselle at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, February 1962. The 'G' and 'R' inscribed to the soles may refer to a number of ballets Fonteyn performed in, including Giselle, Gayaneh, and Raymonda.
