An illustration from My First Ballet: Swan Lake. Siegfried is holding Odette who is leaning forward while on pointe. Siegfried is wearing a black top and light tights and Odette is wearing a cream tutu and headdress. Both are smiling. Odile is shown behind them on pointe shoes wearing a black tutu. In the distance we see four dancers playing the cygnets and holding each other's arms in a line. The background shows two large trees over a beautiful starry sky.
