- Abstract
-
"An opera dancer, on one foot, strikes an attitude with her right arm extended, left arm held above her head. She is grotesquely thin; her face with upturned head shows a long muscular neck, her arms are emaciated and muscular and her hands are almost those of a skeleton. Her mouth is large, tightly set, and drawn down at the corners in an expression of grim determination. She is simply dressed and wears a feathered hat."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a variant state of the same composition.
