Widely spread arms and the lifted edge of the short skirt capture a moment of dance. Pale ivory head and hands contrast with the golden bronze costume, while the red marble base strengthens the warm palette. The small figure retains a clear silhouette in which the lightness of the pose and precision of gesture are especially evident.
