Danseuse Cobodgienne (Cambodian Dancer) is a 1897 by Pierre Roche, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a woman in a dynamic pose, with her legs bent and arms raised. She is adorned with a crown-like headdress and appears to be dancing. The woman's body is rendered in a light color, while the background is a warm, earthy tone. The overall effect is one of energy and movement, as if the woman is about to leap off the page. This image is reminiscent of the work of artists who explored the intersection of Impressionism and Realism, such as Pierre Roche.
Pierre Roche (Paris, 2 August 1855 – Paris, 18 January 1922), pseudonym of Pierre Henry Ferdinand Massignon, was a French sculptor, painter, ceramist and medallist.
