Adeline Génee is a 1915 by Troy Kinney, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a dancer mid-leap, arms stretched wide, with one leg bent sharply behind. The background is a blur of quick, crisscrossed lines, while the figure’s body is drawn with loose, confident strokes. Light and shadow play across the dancer’s form, making her stand out against the messy background. The artist left some details rough, like the dancer’s face and the faint outline of another figure below—maybe a reflection or a shadow. The sketch feels alive, like it was drawn fast, almost as if the artist was trying to capture movement itself. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this sketch in person.
