EDITORS COMMENTS
After the Ballet" is a captivating pen and ink drawing by the renowned French artist Constantin Guys, created in the 19th century. The image transports us to the world of ballet, a realm of grace, elegance, and beauty. The scene unfolds in a dimly lit backstage area, where a weary ballet dancer, dressed in a grey tutu and ballet shoes, takes a moment to rest her feet on a wooden stool. Her beau, a dapper gentleman, assists her by untying the laces of her boots, which are adorned with intricate carriage designs. In the background, an attendant looks on, while a mirror reflects the image of the ballet shoes and the various clothing items scattered around the room. The use of pen and brown ink with brush and gray wash over graphite on ivory wove paper adds to the drawing's textured and atmospheric quality. The image captures the essence of the ballet world, both the glamour and the hard work that goes into bringing the art form to life. This drawing is a testament to the artistic movement of the 19th century and is now part of the esteemed collection at the Art Institute of Chicago.
