Ethelbert White’s print *Cleopatre* shows a moment from Mikhail Fokine’s 1909 ballet. The scene captures Amoun’s first sight of Cleopatra. His lover, Ta-hor, senses his new focus and grabs his arm. This print fits a 1920s trend. Dance and Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes were popular again. White’s work joins a series of prints about famous ballet scenes. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
