This drawing features a very poignant portrait of a ballerina sitting on the floor of the ballet studio taking off her stockings and pointe shoes after a practice session in the studio. You can almost sense the softness in her wool leg warmers, the wear of her pointe shoes, the sweat in her hair. The realism in this drawing in superb. We took some pictures outdoors in natural sunlight, and we took some indoors in artificial light. The pictures with the darker rich black saturation in her shirt and hair are more accurate to the artwork in person. The outdoor natural sunlight tends to scatter a little bit more off of the sweater and hair, looking a little less black. Signed lower right by the artist.
