Description
A little bird on a tether, a woman's dancing dress as cabaret, a red cord as the taut contract between human and animal. In a dense pale cloud of background a blue-skinned woman spins in a deep-red gown; in both hands she holds the ends of a red cord, the other end of which is tied to the leg of a white crane standing below her with a red marking on its head.
