About the artwork

A portrait of a seated female figure, captured in a dancer's pose with one hand raised to her head. Distorted in form with slender, stylised limbs, she balances delicately upon the ground. She wears a dark off-the-shoulder dancer’s leotard and ballet slippers with a red strap. Subtle accents of red are found on her cheekbones. Warm ochre and sandy yellow background, with deep charcoal black outlines, earthy browns, and strokes of pale nude and white.
