Dancer of Delhi (Betalo Rubino) (1916). Robert Henri (American, 1865-1929). Oil on canvas.Henri painted life on the Lower East Side where he found Betalo Rubino, a Gypsy dancer of either Russian or Spanish descent who found an underground niche in risqué Orientalist theatrical productions. Henri painted her several times in the nineteen-teens, but this portrait, with its lascivious combination of red lips and white skin, is the standout. -- source link
