Bronze
Georg Kolbe Museum, Berlin
The sculpture is a reworking of an earlier version from 1913, which was created immediately after the star dancer of the Ballets Russes, Vaslav Nijinsky (1889–1950), visited Kolbe’s studio. The Ballets Russes gave a long series of performances at the Kroll Opera in Berlin in 1912.
