For sale is an elegant original Stanley Roseman drawing of the acclaimed Paris Opera House Ballet dancer Elizabeth Maurin (1963 -

Stanley Roseman is a master of the mine drawing with it being said about him that his works perpetuate and sublimate the dancers' movements, and, more than that, even their forms, recreating with a stroke of a pencil the physical feeling. His hand makes the pencil line dance on the paper, which, from arabesques to entrechats, becomes the dancer.

Stanley Roseman was invited to draw the dance at the illustrious Paris Opéra where he captured the movements of the dancers in exquisite pencil drawing such as this drawing of Elizabeth Maurin during a scene from Romeo and Juliet on October 6th 1995.

Elisabeth Maurin was born in 1963. She studied at the Paris Opéra Ballet School. Joined the Paris Opéra Ballet in 1979 and was appointed étoile in 1988.

The drawing is exceptional and captures Maurin in her dance as she is en pointe with her head and shoulders back as if she is surrendering to her audience. Perhaps it is here in the scene Act 2, Scene 2, the famous "Romeo Romeo wherefore art though Romeo" scene where Juliet confesses she wants Romeo to give up his name to be with her, and if he will not, she will give up her name.

The artwork is stunning. For a simple line drawing, the artist really captures the beauty of movement and dance, as well as elegance of form in this work of art.
