EXHIBITION HISTORY: London Artists' Association (1) 1933 ('a brilliant little painting . . . The lighting implies a bolder bid for depth than is usual with the artist, and feminine absorption in the dancer, to the boredom of one male, gives the right ironical flavour' – The Times, 13 Jan. 1933), Tate Gallery 1965, Edinburgh 1989
