A pencil inscription on the back describes the image as Adele Dumilatre in Giselle. Positioned in the midst of a forest scene this colourful dancer stands out against the grey tones of the plants and eerie veiled figures behind her. Poised in a high arabesque she clasps a branch in her right hand and both her arms are held high other her head. She is dressed in a full skirted white dress with a tight bodice, short sleeves and small wings visible behind her shoulders. The bodice of the dress is comparatively plain and simple but the skirt is made up of a translucent over skirt over what appear to be layered petticoats. Both skirt and bodice are adorned with pink roses, a single strand reaching up the front of the skirt and two roses pinned at the centre top of the bodice. She wears a garland of matching roses in her hair.
