Ballerina 2

A single seated ballerina, seen from behind, curls forward with her back bare and her knees drawn up to her chest, arms wrapped around her legs; her hair is pulled back and she wears ribboned pointe shoes and a pale blue-grey skirt pooled beneath her. The palette is muted — flesh tones in tan and umber, a soft grey-blue garment, set against a plain light grey ground with no background detail. *Ballerina 2*, a mokuhanga woodblock print by Elspeth Lamb (date unknown).
