About the work
This drawing showing dancers of Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes performing on stage, watched by other dancers and stage hands from the wings. A central feature is a free-standing light which helps to pick out the dancers in performance. Annotations on the reverse indicate the colours of the scene. Ethelbert White (1891-1972) was given access to draw backstage when contributing to souvenirs and publications produced by the writer and publisher, Cyril Beaumont.
