"Swedish Dancer" is a chromolithograph from the "Dancing Women" series issued by William S. Kimball & Co. in 1889. The artwork depicts a ballerina in a white tutu and yellow bodice, holding a single red rose. The image captures the grace and elegance of ballet, using vibrant colors and detailed lines to showcase the dancer's movements. This collectible card, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, is a charming example of late 19th-century printmaking and offers a glimpse into the popular culture of the era.
