About this work
A ballerina is caught mid-movement, her body angled forward in a deep lunge with one leg stretched far behind her. Both arms reach upward and outward, hands open, while her head tilts down toward the raised hand; the dark tutu and bodice contrast sharply with the pale, scribbled background.
Charcoal-black pastel builds the figure in dense, confident strokes, set against loose white and pale blue hatching that suggests light and drapery rather than describing them. The economy of line and the sense of arrested motion give the sketch an energetic, spontaneous immediacy typical of a quick dance study.
