Verified profile

The artist eliminates the thin strip of ground that in tempera acts as a laying surface, suspending the dancers in the air. The composition is elegant and highly decorative. The fluctuating veil dresses give the dancers a lightness of butterflies, highlighting the slender body shapes.
