Pony Ballet Possibly 1910 - 1911

"Pony Ballet" is a painting by William James Glackens, possibly created between 1910 and 1911. The artwork depicts a group of women in striped, sailor-style dresses, reminiscent of the popular seaside fashion of the early 20th century. Glackens, a prominent figure in the Ashcan School movement, was known for his depictions of everyday life and urban scenes, often with a focus on working-class people. The painting's loose brushwork and vibrant colors, characteristic of Glackens' style, evoke a sense of movement and energy, capturing the fleeting moment of a performance or a social gathering.
