Lovely drawing by Vittorio Cossio (1911-1984) who was decorator, animator, comic artist and illustrator, active in Italy between the '30s and '70s of the last century.
I don't know where it was published, but I was told it dates back from the '40s: quite risqué for that era! ;)
As a final note, dancer's face and gaze somehow remind me of Frank Kelly Freas' women.

(pen, ink wash and white paint on artboard, roughly 13,5"x 20,5" - signed)

P.S. May 2023: I noticed that this illustration has been published as an example of Cossio's art in GUIDA AL FUMETTO ITALIANO

Mai avrebbe immaginato Cossio che un giorno due sue illustrazioni sarebbero state vendute e separate, per poi incontrarsi sul Caf una accanto l'alra. Sembra una favola a lieto fine!
