Ballet Dancer 

"Ballet Dancer" is a drawing by French artist Jean-Louis Forain. The artwork depicts a ballerina in a white tutu and pointe shoes, viewed from the side in a classical ballet pose. The artist used chalk on paper to create this delicate yet expressive piece, which is characteristic of Forain's style. The subtle shading of the ballerina's form and the gentle curve of her stance emphasize the grace and fluidity of ballet. This artwork reflects Forain's interest in capturing the beauty of human movement and the world of performance.
