Lola Melea, known as "Lola from Valencia," was the principal dancer for the Mariano Camprubi dance troupe s from the Theater Royal in Madrid. When Manet saw her dance in Paris in 1862 he was taken by her sensual appeal and attractively good looks. She served as the model for a woman dancer dressed in traditional Spanish costume.
