About this work
A woman dressed entirely in black stands in profile, chin lifted and gaze upward, one arm curved gracefully overhead while the other hangs relaxed at her side. She stands before a large window in a rehearsal studio, a wooden barre and the blurred legs of another dancer visible at the lower left.
The dark silhouette of the dancer's clothing contrasts sharply with the pale blue-white light flooding through the window and reflecting off the floor. Loose, quick brushstrokes render the window frames almost abstractly, while the figure is built with firmer, more deliberate strokes emphasizing the poised, upward line of the raised arm.
