1. Ballet Girl in White (1909). Robert Henri (American, 1865-1929). Oil on canvas. Des Moines Art Center.

    Although Henri was fascinated by dancers, including Ruth St Denis, the sitter here is likely a model striking a pose rather than a dancer of note. There is a striking resemblance, in subject and treatment, to Masquerade Dress: Portrait of Mrs Robert Henri, suggesting that the artist’s beautiful wife stood for both pictures.
