About this work
Seated with her back curved forward, a dancer in a white leotard and pale blue-white tutu rests her head on her crossed forearm, propped on one raised, pointe-shod leg; the other foot touches the floor lightly on its toe. Her eyes are lowered and her posture completely relaxed, suggesting a pause between rehearsals.
Soft pastel strokes blend warm flesh tones into cool white and pale turquoise for the tutu, with patches of violet, green and ochre loosely sketched into the background. Edges are smudged rather than sharply drawn, giving the figure a tender softness. The hushed pose and powdery color create a quiet, weary intimacy.
