About this work

A dancing girl balances on one foot on a stage. Musicians play in the background, their faces blurred. The artist blends colors so the girl’s pink dress almost glows. This painting feels lively but the artist is unknown. It mixes Realism’s sharp edges with Impressionism’s soft light. No one knows who made it or where it came from. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more like this.
