Dancer with Bouquets, ca. 1895-1900: In this oil on canvas painting a prima ballerina takes a bow at the end of a performance. At her feet are bouquets of flowers tossed by an adoring audience. Standing before a painted landscape backdrop, she raises her hand as if to kiss the crowd before her. close

If I was a docent at the Chrysler Museum of Art, I would love to show this paint to the 4th graders. This painting is like art in art. Dancing is a type of art and a painting is definatly art. The lady in the painting is beautiful standing on the stage and she must be a very good dancer because she has flowers at her feet. I think the little kids would be very amazed with this painting.

The background of the water and mountains really brings out the dancer. The flowers in the painting show that the dancer must have just been performing infront of an audience. The way she is positioned really shows her being a dancer with her stance. It looks like she is about to begin dancing with the bouquet.

This oil canvas is really original. The colors are very expressive. This painting is classic with the dancer and the flowers. Also the audience kiss just brings the whole painting together.

This painting has a lot of potential and is very beautiful. I also think this painting is very elegant and is very well detailed.

did it take you a long time to make it and how long did it take you to make the art i like your work iam very pleased by your work.

this is very pretty i like it alot. It is a simple scene that conveys the feeling of finality and success. this shows that the audience obviuously really liked her dance and the painter completed that feeling.
