André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri's *Clara Pilvois dans le Diavolina* is a carte de visite, a type of photograph popular in the mid-19th century. The image shows four different poses of the dancer Clara Pilvois, captured in a series of vignettes. Disdéri was renowned for his innovative techniques in portraiture, using the "carte de visite" format to create affordable and accessible photographic portraits. This album page, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, captures the elegance and grace of Pilvois and provides a glimpse into the artistic and social trends of the time.
