''La Esmeralda'' is a renowned oil painting by Augustus Jules Bouvier, a 19th-century British artist known for his portraits and genre scenes. The painting depicts the celebrated ballerina Carlotta Grisi (1819–1899) in the title role of the ballet ''La Esmeralda'', which was choreographed by Jules Perrot (1810–1892). Grisi, an Italian dancer, was one of the most famous ballerinas of the 19th century, and she is particularly remembered for her creation of the role of Giselle. Perrot, a French dancer and choreographer, was instrumental in developing the ballet and was also Grisi's partner and ballet master.

The ballet ''La Esmeralda'' is based on Victor Hugo's novel ''Notre-Dame de Paris'' (1831), and it premiered in London in 1844, with Grisi in the lead role. The painting by Bouvier captures the essence of Grisi's performance, showcasing her in a moment of dramatic poise, embodying the character of Esmeralda, the beautiful and kind-hearted gypsy girl who is the object of affection for several of the novel's main characters.

Bouvier's work is significant as it immortalizes a pivotal moment in the history of ballet, where the romantic ballet era was at its peak. The painting not only serves as a historical record of Grisi's performance but also reflects the 19th-century fascination with literary adaptations and the romantic idealization of the ballet. The artwork is notable for its fine detail, the depiction of the intricate costume, and the expressive portrayal of Grisi's character.

As a visual document of a key figure in the world of dance, ''La Esmeralda'' by Augustus Jules Bouvier holds a place of importance in the intersection of visual arts and performing arts history. It is a testament to the cultural impact of ballet during the period and the enduring legacy of the artists it portrays.
