"Grace and Charm" sums up this poignant pencil drawing of a ballerina on stage as she is about to take her bow after her performance to the delighted audience. You are viewing it from the wings of the stage so you feel much more involved in the event. The play of very dark shadows next to the pure white of the ballet dancer's costume is using the technique of "chiaroscuro" (light-dark) which adds to the drama of the scene.
The picture, which is mounted and framed, is an original artwork that would make an ideal gift for an aspiring ballet dancer, a fan of ballet and the arts, or for Mothers' Day or Christmas. It is ready to hang and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
