I found this charcoal scribble much-stepped on in my cluttered studio; drawn in the 1970s it depicts my late dear GF Krystina, a Georgian/Türkish dancer who before becoming a noted ballet photographer had embraced Baladi, Belly-Dance to us Brits. She really did in her youth have this rather startling figure, dance trained calf-muscles, powerful thighs and hips, tight waist and, a large bosom.
She was enthusiastic about eroticising her performance costume, and in a naughty moment I suggested this.
