About this work

This painting shows a woman sitting on a red chair, wearing a red top and a white skirt. Her hair is dark, and she’s holding a white fan. The background is mostly dark with a splash of yellow and green near the bottom. The brushstrokes are thick and loose, making the colors pop. The red chair and her outfit stand out against the darker tones. Next, look up ballerina to see how dancers posed in older art.
