Dancers in the Wings

Jean Louis Forain 1852 - 1931

Summary

A group of ballet dancers are waiting in the wings of a theatre. The central, dark-haired figure is dressed in a tutu and red shawl, and stands with one foot resting on a low stool and one hand on her hip. Three more figures gather together in the background to left, but are painted in pale colours and with little attention to detail in comparison to the foreground dancer. There is an indistinct shadowy background with a red curtain to right.
