White Dress – A Ballerina Dissolving into Light
A figurative painting of dreamy softness: we see a young woman from behind, in a white dress with an open back crossed by laced strings. Her dark brown hair is gathered into a bun with a fine pearly band, and her arms rest relaxed at her sides. The boundary between the skirt and the background gently dissolves – as if the figure were emerging from light.
Technique & Texture
The voluminous, tulle-like skirt is laid on in dense white-cream impasto that melts toward the ground into a painterly background; the skin is warm tan, softly modelled. It is a hand-painted artistic painting – in the video above (0:42) a brush lays light strokes on the bare shoulders and back of the figure in White Dress, then the camera moves over the dress and the pinned-up hair with its pearls, and the finished canvas stands in a thin frame on an easel among frame samples.
The Motif
The bare back with its visible shoulder blades and crisscrossed strings is the centre of the painting – an intimate yet respectful gaze. Beneath the skirt appears a single pale lower leg with the foot on pointe, as with a ballerina; the dappled cream and grey-blue background embraces the figure without confining it.
Styling & Placement
An elegant painting for bedrooms, dressing rooms, and quiet living corners; its white softness suits bright, airy interiors with natural textiles.

White Dress: sizes and hanging
White Dress comes in 15 upright sizes, from 40 x 55 to 200 x 279 cm. The ballerina seen from behind needs a wall taller than it is wide: 50 x 69 cm beside a wardrobe, 60 x 83 cm over a 90 cm dressing table or console, about two thirds of its width, 80 x 111 or 90 x 125 cm in a quiet living-room corner, and 100 x 139 or 120 x 167 cm in a stairwell.
The first photograph shows the painting from the front on a studio easel in an optional thin silver frame, and the second photograph views it from the side beside a wall of frame samples, where the relief of the background shows. Select YES under Stretcher and the canvas with the white tulle-like dress arrives on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. Frames for White Dress are chosen in the Frame menu, starting at Without frame. Delivery takes 15–45 days. The dense white-cream impasto of the skirt is hand-painted, not printed.
What do buyers ask about White Dress?
Which size of White Dress suits a bedroom?
For a narrow wall beside a wardrobe we suggest 50 x 69 or 60 x 83 cm, and for a wider bedroom wall 80 x 111 or 90 x 125 cm.
Is the silver frame on the easel included with White Dress?
No, the thin silver frame on the easel is an optional frame for White Dress, added in the Frame menu, which is otherwise set to Without frame.
Is White Dress a print?
No, the skirt of White Dress is built up in dense white-cream impasto and the skin softly modelled, so the painting is hand-painted throughout.
Can I order White Dress in a size that is not listed?
If none of the 15 upright sizes from 40 x 55 to 200 x 279 cm fits your wall, ask us about a painting made to order.
