The painting shows a young woman in a white tutu standing in front of a red dresser. She has dark hair and is wearing white ballet shoes. Behind her, a woman in a black dress is standing with her hand on the ballerina's shoulder. The room is decorated with a green wall, a white pitcher, and a picture frame. The ballerina is the main focus of the painting, and her tutu is painted in soft, feathery brushstrokes. The woman behind her is dressed in dark colors, which contrasts with the ballerina's light tutu. To learn more about the artist's use of color and light, explore the technique of chiaroscuro.
