The dancer balances fully en pointe here, one leg bent behind in a tight retiré, arms lifted in a mirrored line, her short tutu rendered in a simple flared cut.

Craft: Matte-textured figure, carved pose and tutu detail
The pose captures a different moment than the arabesque, balance held tightly rather than extended outward, the figure's line more compact and vertical. It's a quieter kind of motion, poise over sweep.
