Untitled
c. 1926–1930

A pastel drawing depicting two dancers in the foreground, dressed in black and white costumes with frilly skirts, standing side by side. They are holding their skirts slightly lifted, revealing their legs and ballet shoes. The dancer on the left has dark hair, while the one on the right has red hair. In the background to the right, a shadowy figure of a man in a hat and dark clothing is partially visible, blending into the dark, textured backdrop. The overall colors are muted with a mix of blue, brown, and green tones.
