Georges Rouault's *Les Ballerines* (1934) is a richly colored aquatint from his celebrated suite *Cirque de l'Étoile Filante*, capturing the melancholic world of circus performers with his characteristically bold, dark contours and luminous, jewel-like hues. The composition reflects Rouault's deeply expressive style, imbuing the dancers with a sense of pathos and spiritual weight beneath their theatrical guise. Printed by the master printmaker Lacouriére and published by the legendary Ambroise Vollard in Paris, this work is part of a limited edition of 250, underscoring its significance as a fine example of early twentieth-century French printmaking.
