About this work
A dancer in a pale blue tutu kneels on one knee on a wooden floor, bent low with her head down as she ties the ribbons of her pointe shoe. Bright sunlight falls in a diagonal beam across the floorboards, while a dark wardrobe or chest and rumpled fabric sit in shadow behind her.
Strong contrasts of warm sunlight and cool shadow model the tutu's ruffled tulle in loose, confident strokes of blue and white. Quick, economical brushwork throughout conveys the focused stillness of a private moment of preparation just before a performance.
