La SYPHILDE" Ballet
Gouache signed L GUASQUI and dated November 13, 1932
In 1932, a performance of this Russian ballet took place at the Théatre des Champs Elysées.

La Sylphide tells the story of a young Scotsman, James, who is loved by a sylph that only he can see. But James is engaged to be married, and on his wedding day the sylph seizes the wedding ring intended for her and flees into the woods. James chases after her and forgets his fiancée in the forest. James then meets an old witch whom he had once chased away and who is determined to take revenge. She gives him a veil, which should enable him to capture the sylph, but the veil is poisoned and causes the sylph to lose her wings and her life. James, in great grief, sees his former fiancée marrying his rival in the distance, and the sylph's funeral procession. He dies: evil has triumphed.
