The oil-on-canvas painting depicts five ballerinas, viewed from behind, standing in a line as they just finished the performance and waiting for the applause. Each ballerina wears a white tutu with ruffled edges and pointe shoes. Their skin tones vary, suggesting diversity. They appear to be in unison, their arms interlocked. The background is a muted, cool blue-gray, suggesting a theatrical backdrop. Soft, diffused lighting from above creates a subtle halo effect around the dancers' heads and suggests stage spotlights. The floor is dark brown, implying the stage. The overall style is realistic, with a focus on capturing the dancers' posture and the texture of the tutus, however, it has a painterly quality with visible brushstrokes giving the image some impasto effect.
