Catalogue Note
Although the artist A. Sari does not appear to be published, it is interesting to compare the similarities between the present figure and another Orientalist dancer illustrated in Panzetta by Bruno Fanfani. Note the striking resemblance in stance and placement of her arms and feet, as well as the group of reeds around her.
