Cleveland Museum of Art

A monochrome drawing of a ballet scene titled "Le Ballet" by Alexandre Lunois. Six ballerinas stand on a stage or dance floor; they are wearing ballet shoes and short tutus. The ballerina on the left edge faces right with one hand on her hip. The second ballerina from the left faces away and is bending forward at the waist. The third ballerina from the left stands facing right; she appears to have one leg extended behind her. The fourth ballerina from the left stands facing forward, shifting her weight to one leg; her body faces right. The fifth ballerina from the left stands facing to the right; both her hands are on her hips. A dark curved shape partially obscures the ballerina on the far left. The background depicts a partial view of an audience and a balcony with more audience members; the balcony has a curved railing. The image has a border; a signature appears to be present below the image on the right side.
