About this work
Figure study of an Indonesian dancer in richly decorated traditional dress. The figure is shown frontally in an expressive dance pose, with both arms extended sideways. The costume is built up from red, yellow, white and black accents and is combined with a striking headdress. The visible linen texture and loose pastel strokes give the work a lively, sketch-like appearance.
