    Carrier-Belleuse was a skillful painter of landscapes, portraits and genre scenes but he particularly excelled in intimate portraits of women. He chose to emphasise the poise and grace of the feminine body in his works and in particular those of ballet dancers. Carrier-Belleuse paintings of ballet dancers in pastel, a medium the artist became celebrated for, are widely collected in today’s art market.
