Tea Cup Ballet is one of Australian photographer Olive Cotton’s most well-known photographs. Featuring a typically modernist aesthetic, the dramatic lighting and placement of the cups and saucers enables the relationship to dancers on a stage to become clear.

Tea Cup Ballet is available as an A3 sized print, exclusively from the Gallery Shop.
