Help!



I love this picture, does anybody out there know who this dancer is and who this photograph is by?

UPDATE

Thank you Stephanie and Violetta, I ran it through Tin Eye and sleuthed it. It is British Ballerina Alicia Markova, taken by John Rawlings in 1944.  I should have guessed it was Rawlings work,  nobody did colour like him. Whilst I was there...

















Paris 1946



Mary Jane Russell

Had some of these pictures on file for another post but I'm afraid I just couldn't help myself! I love his work, so very Mad Men or rather Mad Men so very John Rawlings.
