Her pose and the swirl of her dress convey a sense of movement and excitement, while her high red heels add a pop of bold color that underscores the artwork's playful yet sophisticated tone.The background of the scene is elegantly simple, with art nouveau elements in the balcony railing that add a touch of ornate detail without overshadowing the main subject.
