About this work
A dancer in a swirling red dress and a red flower in her dark hair strikes a dynamic pose - one arm raised holding a tambourine aloft, the other flung to the side, one leg lifted straight behind her on pointe. The stage dissolves into dim reddish-brown shadow, with indistinct figures and a pale glow at the right edge.
Deep maroon, black and umber dominate the ground, against which the dancer's red skirt and warm flesh glow under raking light from the right. Brushwork is loose and broken, the surrounding crowd reduced to smears of dark color, concentrating detail and light on the whirling central figure. The lighting builds a charged, theatrical sense of motion.
