About this work
A dancer in a pale blue-white costume with gold-banded cuffs and a beaded necklace stands en pointe, arms crossed and reaching sideways, head tilted with a faint smile. Behind her, a flat scarlet wall is patterned with black tree branches, blue flowers, and decorative vessels, while to the right stands a tall vase of red and yellow blossoms beside a bowl of fruit.
The dominant scarlet ground is treated as a flat, unmodulated field, with the dancer's pale costume and skin standing out in soft, blended tones by contrast. Pattern and figure share the same simplified, graphic clarity, gold flecks catching light on the cuffs and hem, giving the whole a warm, decorative intensity.
