Balerină în repaos is a 1908 unspecified by Jean-Louis Forain, a Post-Impressionism work, depicting Ballerina, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a group of dancers in a dimly lit room. One dancer sits on a fallen figure, her arms outstretched, wearing a green skirt with gold trim. The others stand or lean around her, their poses relaxed. The background is dark and blurry, with a hint of a window or door at the back. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a rough, sketchy feel. The lighting is uneven, with some areas brightly lit and others in shadow. Look up ballerina next to see how these dancers compare to real ballet poses.
Jean-Louis Forain (French pronunciation: ; 23 October 1852 – 11 July 1931) was a French Impressionist painter and printmaker, working in media including oils, watercolour, pastel, etching and lithograph.
