Contemporary Figurative Oil Painting of a Belly Dancer

This is an original oil painting on an unframed canvas roll depicting a female figure in traditional belly dancing attire. The central figure is shown in three-quarter profile, wearing an ornate black and gold coin-embellished top and matching hip belt with delicate gold chain swags over a dark, flowing skirt. The artist has used a vibrant, impressionistic background featuring a dramatic palette of cerulean blue, warm ochre, and fiery oranges which suggests movement and energy. The skin tones of the dancer are rendered with smooth transitions and subtle highlights, indicating a competent hand in figurative realism. The painting is currently on a loose canvas with visible white borders containing tacking marks, suggesting it was recently removed from its stretcher bars or never mounted. The overall condition appears good with high color saturation and no visible cracking (craquelure) or paint loss, though the edges of the canvas show slight fraying and handling creases common with unframed works. The style is contemporary, likely produced within the last 20 years, focusing on cultural dance themes. No signature is immediately visible in the lower corners of this orientation.
