This dynamic print by Linda O'Hagan captures the movement of a dancer with out arm outstretched and the other lifting her skirt. The foreground of the print is primarily white while the background is composed of deep blue and black tones. This stark contrast is broken by the foremost figure and other more abstracted figures standing behind her. The figures are rendered in impressionistic strokes with the texture of ink on the monotype clearly visible. The figures pop from the background as they are rendered with warmer tones. The primary dancer has bright orange details in her hair and torso, drawing even more attention to her.
