The work was created during the sculptor's American stay and exhibited for the first time at the Art Club of Philadelphia in 1915. It depicts Lady Constance Stewart-Ricardson, naked in a slender dance step, elegantly accompanied by a theatrical gesture of the left arm . The statuette, replicated in several versions, some of which are present in American museums (Detroit Institute of Arts, Metropolitan Museum of New York), depicts the protagonist dressed in a light and adherent Grecian tunic, and, much more rarely, completely naked. .
