The Dancer by Albert Besnard: A black and white etching of two women. The woman on the right sits on the floor, wearing a dress and a head covering. She faces left with her back to the viewer and her right arm raised, her left arm bent. The woman on the left sits cross-legged on the floor, looking right and wearing a head covering. A patterned cloth is draped over her lap. The background contains dark smudges and lines. The signature appears in the bottom-right corner.
