Signed Impressionist Painting of a Ballerina from Ghana, "Reflection"

A young ballerina stands in front of a mirror, her image reflected several times around her. Ghanaian artist Otis Kwame Kye Quaicoe paints this creative and emotive scene, using the impressionist technique to blend the colors and shapes of the girl's dress. For the artist, this painting depicts the silent reflection that a performer undergoes before a big performance.
