The shoulder depicts a row of four dancers, each with a raised leg, facing the flute player. Two of the dancers are clearly female; the other two appear to be male figures wearing women's clothing and animal ears.](https://isaw.nyu.edu/exhibitions/ballets-russes/objects/79/@@images/97c48060-8f31-44cf-b21c-4f90b709818f.jpeg)
