  The American dancer Loïe Fuller (1870-1928) in her diaphanous white costume is the subject of this marble by the French sculptor Théodore Rivière (1857-1912). Rivière took advantage of the relatively new art of photography to make it, using reference photographs which he took of her dancing in a park in Paris in 1896.
