Dancer and Man
n.d.
Jean Louis Forain French, 1852-1931
France
The spontaneous pose of the dancer lends an air of immediacy to Forain's watercolor, capturing in a lively way the chance meeting after a performance. The work is strongly evocative of the work of Degas, who repeatedly turned to the ballet for his subject matter.
