Summary
Depiction of a rather chaotic ballet rehearsal onstage at a nineteenth-century theatre. At center, female dancers dressed in street clothes or undergarments practice a dance, one dancer holding a garland. Near the footlights, a bearded man confers with two attentive women; none of them pay any attention to the dancers. Beyond the cluster of dancers, stagehands appear to be moving a flat, while a scene painter works from an elevated platform. In the background at right, a man studies a sheet of paper, oblivious to the action around him.
