Ballet Dancer 

"Ballet Dancer" is a charcoal drawing by Jean-Louis Forain, a renowned French artist. This piece, likely a study, captures a dancer in a dynamic pose. The use of charcoal creates a sense of movement and the figure is rendered with quick, loose strokes, characteristic of Forain's style. The background is minimal, focusing attention on the dancer. This simple yet expressive work exemplifies Forain's keen observation of human form and his ability to capture fleeting moments of movement.
