A depiction of the members of the Ballets Russes on stage before curtain-up. In the right foreground a group of men and women stand together: the men in top hats and striped trousers; the women in peasant type costume with full, brightly-coloured skirts and bonnets. Left of the centre some single figures stand limbering up, a man in harlequin tights standing on one leg, a woman in frilly skirts bending over to touch her toes, two women standing talking behind her. There is a group of men in the background on the extreme left. A dark shadow casts a sharp diagonal line across the background wall to the left.
