Vintage 1960s Oil On Board Framed Painting of Ballerina Tying Slippers

Painted in the 1960s, this lovely oil on board captures a quiet backstage moment: a young ballerina kneeling to tie the ribbons of her slippers. Her soft blue tutu seems to glow against the warm tones of the wooden floor and floral curtain behind her. It’s a peaceful, graceful scene that feels full of heart.

The artist, Delano Holland, was known for painting dancers not on stage, but in those quiet in-between moments—when the world fades and it’s just the dancer and her routine. This painting reflects that beautifully, with soft, romantic colors and gentle brushwork.

It’s set in its original carved wood frame with gold leaf and deep red detailing, which adds just the right amount of vintage charm.

Perfect for a bedroom, hallway, or reading nook—anywhere you want to add a little softness and story.
