The painting depicts a woman wearing a short, off-white dress with pink spots and a fringed hem. Her left arm is bent at the elbow, and her right arm extends to the side, holding a fan. The woman's head is turned to the left, and her legs are positioned in a dancing stance. She has on ballet slippers. The background is a mix of dark blue and green colors, with some lighter shades. The overall style is impressionist, with visible brushstrokes and soft colors. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom-right corner. The woman appears to be a dancer, possibly a ballerina. Dancer with a Fan by Edgar Degas.
