The flamenco dancer 

Ramón Casas was a Spanish painter known for his depictions of contemporary life and society. This artwork, "The Flamenco Dancer," portrays a woman in a traditional Spanish shawl, called a "mantón de Manila," which is a common symbol of Spanish culture. The woman's pose and the elegant draping of the shawl suggest a sense of movement and grace, likely referencing the flamenco dance. Casas's skillful use of pastel creates a soft and ethereal atmosphere, further highlighting the beauty and elegance of the subject.
