About the Item
This elegant, hand-drawn pencil portrait captures the legendary ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev at the height of his career. Known for his extraordinary talent, charisma, and athletic prowess, Nureyev redefined male ballet dancing in the 20th century, combining classical technique with unparalleled expressiveness. Signed indistinctly in the lower right corner and dated '65 (1965), this portrait was created during a transformative period in Nureyev's life. Having defected from the Soviet Union just four years prior, Nureyev quickly gained fame in the West, becoming the celebrated principal dancer of London's Royal Ballet and partnering with Dame Margot Fonteyn in a historic artistic collaboration. This artwork captures his commanding presence and the focused intensity for which he was known on stage.
Condition-wise, the drawing itself is pristine, with no damage or wear on the paper surface, showcasing the artist's delicate pencil work. The frame, although showing minor wear, complements the portrait's elegant simplicity and provides a finished look, perfect for display. With dimensions of 11 x 14.5 inches unframed and 16.5 x 19.75 inches framed, this piece is ideally sized for an intimate setting, inviting close admiration of both the artistry and Nureyev's magnetic likeness.
This piece is a rare find and a tribute to one of ballet's most iconic figures, offering both art enthusiasts and ballet lovers an opportunity to own a portrait of a legend whose passion and artistry continue to inspire generations.
