"Danseuse au triangle" is a charcoal drawing by Pierre-Paul Prud’hon, created in 1800. The artwork depicts a female figure in a flowing gown, gracefully dancing and holding a triangle. Prud’hon, a prominent figure in the Neoclassical movement, favored the use of line and shadow to create a sense of movement and volume. The simplicity of the drawing, its emphasis on form, and the figure's elegant pose showcase the Neoclassical ideal of beauty and harmony.
