These drawings were executed in Paris around 1912, when Rönnebeck (1885-1947) was studying sculpture with Antoine Bourdelle (1861-1929) at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. At the same time, Bourdelle was working on the relief panels of the famous American modern dancer, Isadora Duncan (1877-1927) for the Théâtre des Champs Elysées, Paris, which opened in 1913.
