The image is a black and white triptych photograph featuring two ballet dancers, a man and a woman, in a specific pose from the ballet Apollon Musagète. The male dancer, identified as Serge Lifar as Apollo, is crouched, supporting the female dancer, Alice Nikitina as Terpsichore. The pose is popularly referred to as "the swimming lesson" due to the female dancer's arm movements and balance. The background features a stylized, rugged mountain landscape.
