The performer and a recognisable silhouette

Portrait of Yvette Guilbert sets the tall figure and dark gloves against a bright dress and a patterned background. The elongated pose gives the image a distinctive outline. Other performer subjects introduce different costumes, gestures and encounters with an audience.

A figure at rest between performances

La Clownesse Assise brings a seated performer close to the viewer, with the spread of the dark legs and pale costume organising the space. Other figures in the collection appear resting, conversing or watching. Explore figurative prints for further approaches to the body in an everyday setting.

Riders and the direction of movement

The Jockey follows horses and riders through a close arrangement of curving bodies and angled limbs. The movement offers a contrast with the stiller portraits. Browse equestrian art for further racing, riding and horse subjects across artists.
