Rosario Guerrero

Rosario Fernández Guerrero (born about 1880 – died 1960s) was a Spanish dancer and pantomimist with an international career.

"I reveled in it," she told an interviewer, "I felt that I was Carmen, and do you know, I verily believe that my Don José was now and again really afraid of me.

[9] She performed pantomime shows[10] in London in 1908,[11] in New York and Chicago in 1909,[12][13] and in other American cities including San Francisco and Indianapolis in 1910.

[17] She posed for a series of portraits by German artist Friedrich August von Kaulbach, who considered them among his best work.

[18] Arthur Kampf's celebrated 1906 canvas, Spanische Tänzerin is similarly believed to be a portrait of Guerrero.
