In the Coulisses (c.1920). Laura Knight (English, 1877-1970). Oil on panel. Falmouth Art Gallery.Knight was privileged to gain permission from Diaghilev to paint backstage the activities of dancers from the Ballets Russes. Here she shows what is probably a rehearsal at the Alhambra Theatre, London in 1919. The dancers are in the costume for Les Sylphides and Le Tricorne, while a dresser (in red) is on hand for last minute adjustments to costumes in the wings. -- source link
