About the piece
Painted in 1904, Everett Shinn’s 'The White Ballet' captures the glamour and atmosphere of early 20th-century American theater. The composition utilizes a dramatic shift in lighting, contrasting the shadowy figures of the audience in the foreground with the radiant, ethereal glow of the dancers on stage, reflecting the influence of French Impressionist masters like Edgar Degas.
