John William Godward - The Weary Dancer (1909)

 Wearing a maroon and teal dress with a crimson skirt wrapped around the waist, the model is seen from a side profile. Her long black hair was loose, tied with a bright red silk ribbon. The tambourine thrown at her feet was intricately inlaid with mother-of-pearl and the dancer looked down for a moment of reverie. Here Godward uses the tondo as a synthesizing device to draw full attention to the sitter, cultivating a sense of intimacy. (Christie's, London - Oil on canvas, oval, 53.5 x 54 cm)
