Description
In this portrait fantasy, Tretchikoff has identified the prima-ballerina in her most famous role, the Dying Swan, from which, as did Pavlova, she has become inseparable in the minds of all lovers of the ballet; it is for this reason that the artist has painted the swan and Markova as one and the same being. Posed by Alicia Markova. Painted in South Africa.
