Dance

A bare-chested young woman with long loose hair stands turned slightly away, one arm raised with a yellow sash tied at the wrist, the other hand lifting the edge of a pale yellow wrapped skirt as if mid-step. She is set against a weathered, plaster-like blue-green surface inscribed with the word VIRGO, small gold keys, a roman-numeral date, a painted twig with red leaves, and handwritten text reading 'dancing Olga-Venus'.

Skin tones are smoothly rendered in warm flesh colors that stand out against the cool, textured backdrop, while the incised lettering and symbols stay flat and graphic. The mix of classical figure painting with scratched inscriptions and zodiac imagery gives the work a mysterious, talismanic quality.
