Female dancer

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Female dancer by Aristide Maillol. A sculpture of a woman with her right arm raised above her head and her left hand on top of her head. She wears a long dress that drapes down to her feet. The sculpture is made of stone or metal and has a weathered appearance. The woman's facial expression is neutral. Her right arm extends upwards, while her left arm is bent at the elbow. The sculpture appears to be a representation of a female dancer in a dynamic pose.
