About the Artwork:
Bird: Little bittern (Ixobrychus minutus)
Standing in the wings at the Palais Garnier, these aspiring ballerinas in pink tutus and point shoes are watching the famous Renée Marcelle "Zizi" Jeanmaire perform the title role in “Carmen.” They hope to some day perform with the Paris Opera Ballet in “Atys”—a three act tragédie lyrique by Niccolò Piccinni.
