The painting depicts the ballerina in the lead role, standing on tiptoe and spread-eagled in a tulle skirt with yellow and greenish highlights that resembles a flower or ray. She is illuminated by a spotlight, emphasizing dynamism and movement. In the background we can see watching figures and other dancers in various poses. The painting is rendered in an impressionist style with visible brushstrokes and diffused light, adding vibrancy and authenticity to the scene. This work was created by a famous painter, but I cannot provide a specific identification.

Edgar Degas (1834-1917). French painter and sculptor. He is considered one of the founders of Impressionism, although he called himself a realist. As an 1870s painter associated with dance, over half his works are devoted to depicting ballerinas, ballet performances and practices. His portrayal of motion is one of the most perfect seen. He also devoted himself to portraiture, and his portraits and nudes are among the most admired in history.
