The third in a series of small ballerina studies, focusing on a limited range of grays.

This artwork is a painting of a ballerina. The ballerina is captured in mid-motion, standing en pointe with one arm gracefully raised above her head and the other extended outward. She is dressed in a light blue or white tutu adorned with delicate ribbons, reflecting the elegance and poise of a ballerina. The background is rendered in various shades of blue, enhancing the ethereal quality of the scene. The painter uses soft, impressionistic brushstrokes to create a sense of movement and grace, which complements the subject's dynamic pose.
