About this work

This painting shows a dancer in a flowing, billowing costume. The colors are mostly soft blues and yellows, with a dark background that makes the figure stand out. The dancer’s arms are curved, and the fabric moves around her like water. The artist used a quick, sketchy style to capture motion. This was a famous performer, and the image was made to look like she’s in the middle of a dance. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
