Painting of three ballet dancers in yellow tutus adjusting hair backstage, with blurred green trees and stage edge behind them.

Yellow Dancers (In the Wings)

Three ballet dancers in pale yellow tutus stand close together in the wings, one adjusting another's hair with raised arms while a third looks on. Loose, feathery brushstrokes blur the figures into a greenish backdrop of trees and a pale stage edge, with dancers' legs visible below.
