A pencil drawing on off-white paper of a woman standing in a ballet costume. The woman's head is drawn facing slightly right with her body positioned more fully facing the viewer. She has short, curly hair. She wears a low neckline bodice with puffy sleeves and a short full skirt, with multiple layers suggesting a tutu. The bodice is dark in the center and shaded around the edges. The right leg is visible from ankle to mid-thigh; the left leg is covered by a long piece of fabric. The woman appears to be in a ballet position; her weight-bearing right leg is turned out and bent. The left leg extends behind her, straight and unweighted. The background is blank off-white paper.
