Circle and artistic influence:
Work linked to the European figurative tradition of the 20th century, with influences from Impressionism and from painting devoted to the world of dance. The spontaneous brushwork, the simplification of the background, and the use of cool tones recall the pictorial explorations developed around the representation of dancers, where capturing gesture and attitude takes precedence over academic detail. There are also echoes of Post-Impressionism and European modern figuration.
ㅤ
The composition presents a young dancer depicted with almost a full body, wearing a white leotard and tutu with light bluish tones. The figure adopts a firm and elegant position, with both hands resting on the waist and the head turned in profile to the left, conveying concentration and discipline before or after the dance.
ㅤ
The execution stands out for a loose and visible brushstroke, especially evident in the tutu and in the background. The palette combines whites, blues, violets and grayish tones with warm nuances applied to the skin. The background, resolved through broad blue and purple chromatic masses, lacks accompanying elements, concentrating attention entirely on the female figure.
ㅤ
The artwork is framed. The frame is dark wood, wide-profiled and molded, combined with a light mat and gilded inner profiles. This combination creates a classic contrast with the cool tones of the painting and adds visual depth to the whole.

Observations:
The artwork may incur damage during transport even with proper packaging. In such a case, we will require photographs of the damages to proceed with compensation. Customer satisfaction is always our priority.
ㅤ
Exceptionally, shipping costs may be affected by an surcharge for reasons such as being outside a continental territory, oversized dimensions, or weight of the item. PremiArt will under no circumstances cover this surcharge.
ㅤ
The courier that must cross the Swiss border may be subject to delays much longer than normal, so, if possible to speed up the process, we will provide the customs number that is holding the shipment so that the customer can release it and thus reach its destination. Experience has shown this is the most effective solution for both parties.
ㅤ
Due to the high volume of shipments it is possible that the order is delayed more than three days, for which we apologize and thank you for your patience. If you have any questions about your order please contact us via internal messaging.
