1970s "Ballet Dancer, Rose Variation" Expressionist Ballerina Portrait Pastel Drawing by Valery Koso

Description

An exquisite depiction of a ballet dancer in motion, rendered exquisitely in pastel by Russian/American artist Valery Kosorukov. The artist has managed to capture motion through staggered, faded strokes of the pastels. Bodies in motion are notoriously difficult to capture, so this is awfully impressive. Framed, behind glass. Dimensions given are framed dimensions.
