They depict the same young ballet dancer wearing a gorgeous tutu and posing for the photographer in his studio. De Meyer is primarily known for his portraits of celebrities and fashion photographs but the world of ballet always fascinated him. Thus he portrayed, for instance, the most virtuoso dancers of the early 20th century, Vaslav Nijinsky, in numerous photographs. The two photographs are overall in good condition. The vertical format picture shows a minimal abrasion in raking light. There are retouchings on the negative to the girl’s armpits. The photo is taped to the mat along the upper margin. The second photo shows marginal blemishes, especially on the left edge, where the upper corner is missing and the surface is damaged. The sheet is mounted with photo corners under a mat. The verso of both photos shows traces of previous mounting, they are signed on the verso in pencil ‘DEMEYER’. The dimensions are 17.8 x 12.3 cm.

In the following years however, he devoted himself more and more to portrait photography. His early works were published in Alfred Stieglitz’s journal Camera Work. In 1910 he created his first fashion shots for Vogue magazine. De Meyer was a pioneer in the field of fashion photography in New York and became the first staff photographer employed by Vogue and Vanity Fair.
