This ballerina is a sclupture by François-Rupert Carabin in bronze. She is posed in the fifth position with the appropriate matching position of her arms in fifth en bas. The ballerina’s feet are in pointe shoes, and she is in a high relevé, meaning her weight is balanced on the tips of her toes. Her head is held upright by a straight neck that turns into a three-quarters profile. This dancer is the height of excellence, displaying mastery of ballet technique.
