EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a dancer's profile, as depicted by the renowned artist Edgar Degas in 1899. Created with gouache and watercolour on paper, this artwork showcases Degas' exceptional talent for capturing movement and grace. The young dancer is seated, her body delicately leaning forward as she stretches her neck. The blue hues used by Degas add an ethereal quality to the scene, enhancing the sense of tranquility and elegance that emanates from this piece. Degas was known for his fascination with ballet dancers, often depicting them in various stages of practice or performance. This particular study allows us to glimpse into a private moment of preparation before taking the stage. While most of Degas' paintings and pastels can be found at the Musee d Orsay, it is intriguing to note that some drawings remain at the Louvre in Paris. This adds an extra layer of significance to this print, making it a valuable addition to any art collection. Whether you are an admirer of dance or simply appreciate fine art, this exquisite print offers a timeless glimpse into the world of ballet during the late 19th century. Its beauty and poise will undoubtedly captivate viewers for generations to come.
