Sculptor Malvina Hoffman met the acclaimed Russian ballerina Ana Pavlova in New York during the spring of 1914. This bronze rendering of the dancer, posed with broadly outstretched arms, was created the following year. At the time, Pavlova was attempting to popularize a Russian version of the French folk dance known as the gavotte. A pavlova is a meringue-based dessert inspired by the shape of ballerina Anna Pavlova's tutu.
