The Ballerina in Yellow Bodice is an exquisite porcelain lace figurine that captures the grace and poise of a dancer frozen mid-performance. With her delicate arms lifted in motion and head gently tilted, she radiates elegance and serenity. Her layered lace skirt — meticulously crafted from real fabric dipped in porcelain slip — cascades in lifelike ruffles, each fold immortalized in fine detail.
Hand-painted floral accents adorn her gown, while her yellow bodice and matching ballet shoes bring warmth and vitality to the composition. The figure’s pose, lightness, and porcelain translucency evoke a timeless charm — an ode to the ballet and to 19th-century romantic artistry.
