About this work
A dancer stands with one leg raised and bent, gathering the voluminous ruffled skirt of her costume in both hands to reveal it as she performs. She wears a red and black bodice with yellow puffed sleeves and a red flower in her upswept hair, smiling broadly toward the viewer, with faint figures of an audience or fellow performers visible in the shadows behind her.
Bright passages of white, cream and yellow in the swirling skirt are set against a dark, loosely brushed green-brown backdrop, creating strong contrast that pulls the figure forward. Thick, energetic strokes describe the folds of fabric and the motion of the pose, giving the picture a lively, theatrical charge.
