Yellow Skirt, Quiet Turn

. Fried Pál: 27 x 35 cm pasztell: Balerina sárga - 1940 körül A softly rendered figure study captures a ballerina paused in profile, her head bowed as one hand gathers the flowing yellow-and-violet skirt. The broad, fanlike costume dominates the composition, while slender legs and pale ballet slippers extend beneath it against a spare, warm brown ground. Dark contour marks, visible paper texture, and loosely layered colored strokes give the piece the intimate character of a working sketch, with a restrained sense of motion and reflection.
