This picture has been known as Glycera in recent years, but is clearly the watercolour reproduced as The Dancer in Cosmo Monkhouse's account of Poynter's career. The sitter holds a tambourine with which she presumably accompanies her dance, and seems to be the same model that posed for the dancer in Poynter's picture The Ionian Dance, exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1895 (repr. Monkhouse, p. 27). Features, headdress and drapery are all similar.
