A vertically oriented lithograph on off-white paper depicts a dancing figure with a solid black body and a light-toned face. Centered at the top, the figure wears a white, petal-like tutu with a patterned waistband. Their right arm is raised while their left leg is lifted towards our right. Below, four lines of cursive French script begin "Mobilité savamment étudiée." Solid ink forms contrast with fluid line work, suggesting rhythmic motion.
