This pencil drawing shows dancer Stanislas Idzikowski getting ready for the pas de deux in a ballet called Cimarosiana. The year is around 1925. The artist, Randolph Schwabe, signed the work. Idzikowski sits on a wooden chair, putting on greasepaint with a small mirror. A costume from another ballet, Le Tricorne, hangs on the wall behind him. His outfit has bold “Wedgewood” medallions linked by silver ribbons. Take a closer look at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
