Ballet Print Appraisal

Ballet Dancers Print

This is a framed print depicting two ballet dancers in a pose. The female dancer is in the foreground, positioned en pointe on her right foot with her left leg extended to the side. She wears a white or light-colored tutu with visible layers of netting or tulle. Her arms are extended upwards and to her right, forming an elegant line. The male dancer is behind her and to her left, supporting her with his right arm around her waist and his left arm extended to the side. He wears a dark top. The artwork is executed in muted tones, primarily grey and black, with some subtle color in the skin tones and the tutu appear to have a very light blue tint. The background is a solid grey creating a simple backdrop that highlights the figures. A signature is visible in the lower right corner, which appears to read "M. Dobuzhinsky" or similar, although it is difficult to decipher clearly from the image. The print is housed in a simple black frame with a white matting around the image. The frame appears to be wood or a composite material, with some minor surface wear visible along the bottom edge. The matting is smooth and evenly cut. The overall condition of the print within the frame appears good, although assessing any fading or discoloration would require closer inspection. The style suggests a classical or traditional depiction of ballet.
