Dancing Girl from Spark's Carousel Wagon

Katharine Merrill

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman in a dynamic dance pose. She is mid-leap, with her right arm extended above her head and her left arm relaxed by her side. Her left leg is bent at the knee, and her right leg is slightly raised, toes pointed downward. She has long flowing hair and wears a fitted top with short sleeves and a short skirt in light blue, green, and pink. The colors are soft and the background is light beige.
