Original compilation of 41 full-page and six half-page drawings-some finished sketches; others, studies for future works-depict dancers on stage, in the classroom, and at rehearsals. Charming, spirited views of dancers pirouetting, executing grand battements and ports de bras, practicing at the barre, adjusting their costumes in moments of repose, and more. Delightful drawings to be enjoyed by lovers of art or the dance.
