Description: Costume designs for the première of Rossini's William Tell. Laure Cinti-Damoreau as Mathilde Adolphe Nourrit as Arnold Melchtal, and Nicolas Levasseur as Walter Furst. The images quite obviously originally were meant to fit together.[1] The shadows stretch from one image to the other, and even the watercolour splotches and other minor elements of the painting match up perfectly. I presume it was cut up in order to send it to the various tailors who made the costumes, but it makes more sense as art put back together. Compare File:Rossini - Le comte Ory - Eugène Du Faget - Paris 1828 - 2. Le gouverneur, Levasseur, le comte Ory, Nourrit, Ragonde, Gosselin.jpg or File:Costumes - Frederic Lemaitre as Buridan, Mlle George as Marguerite de Bourgogne (La Tour de Nesle, September 1832).jpg
