About the piece
Painted circa 1910, this work by Spencer Gore captures a scene from the ballet 'On the Sands' at the Alhambra Theatre in London. Gore, a founding member of the Camden Town Group, employs a rich, stippled technique and an unusual perspective that places the viewer in a theater box, overlooking the orchestra pit and the brightly lit stage.
