Ballet Dancer

André Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a woman in a ballet outfit, standing en pointe next to a column. She has delicate facial features, neatly styled hair with a floral headpiece, and a serene expression. The woman wears a classic ballet costume with a fitted bodice, short puffed sleeves, and a full tulle skirt. She is holding a book and is surrounded by a stage or studio setting with a classical column. The image is framed with twisted red cords.
