About this work
A row of dancers in profile fills the foreground, hair pinned up with pink flowers and pale veils trailing down their backs; one clasps her hands at her chest. Behind them, lit by a warm golden doorway, more dancers and a figure in a dark high-collared jacket stand watching from the shadows, suggesting a corridor just before curtain.
Warm ochre and gold light floods the centre, silhouetting the dancers against it, while the edges recede into brown shadow. Brushwork is loose and broad, with features only summarily indicated, giving the scene a hazy, fleeting look. The mix of glow and shadow creates a hushed, expectant mood before a performance.
