A diagonal line of leaping ballet dancers recedes from a starkly lit dancer partially visible at bottom left. All are broadly painted against a blue-green ground above them, pale pink below. They have obscured features and are highlighted in yellow and green. A conductor's hands emerge at bottom. This record is included as a recognizable entry point for MyArtTaste discovery, using the museum's official public-domain metadata and image.
