Marjorie Tallchief in "L'Idylle", 1954. Edition of 8, silver gelatine print in a Willy Rizzo designed and made frame.
'This was shot during a performance of L'Idylle at the Theatre de l'Empire. In the picture she is the Pouliche or Filly. The horse to the left is danced by her husband George Skibine - a Russian born dancer and choreographer, and to the right, is the stallion, played by Vladimir Skouratoff, who is going to seduce the Pouliche. Skouratoff specialised in character roles and choreographed parts in this ballet along with those in Serge Lifar's Dramma per Musica and Shota Rustaveli (both 1946). This was one of Tallchief's most highly acclaimed roles.'
