Jean-Louis Forain - Dancers in Pink [c.1905] by Gandalf’s Gallery

The youngest of the group of Impressionist painters, Forain is also famous for his satirical drawings, which he presented to the press over a period of almost fifty years. Born in Reims in 1852 to a modest family of artisans, he moved to Paris at the age of eleven and stayed there until his death in 1931.

Here is a group of six ballet dancers during the interval, in front of the décor. Three of them are sketched in the background, but the position of those in the front of the stage clearly indicates that they are all resting and that the effort has been hard. In fact, the dancer in the foreground tying her ballet shoe is bent forward, her arms hanging, while behind her, two other dancers are sitting, one of them taking advantage to relax her feet, the other to get her breath back.
