'Giselle' by Anne Estelle Rice (1877-1959) © the artist's estate. Image credit: Bewdley Museum In a dark forest, two rows of women ballet dancers dance on either side of a clearing in shades of blue and white. In the centre, a woman ballet dancer dances as a male dancer lies on the ground at her feet. Far in the background, a dark cliff looms into the sky. A crescent moon shines in the night sky.
