EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Edgar Degas' iconic sculpture, "Little Dancer Aged Fourteen" possibly created in 1920 or 1921. The plaster cast is a reproduction of the original wax model that was meticulously crafted between 1878 and 1881. Degas, known for his artistic movement and contribution to the world of ballet, beautifully captures the essence of this young ballerina. With her eyes closed and hands gracefully placed behind her back, she exudes poise and elegance. The color photograph highlights the intricate details of this masterpiece. The delicate fabric of her tutu is painted with precision, while a metal armature provides stability to her standing posture on a plaster base. As we admire this piece, we are transported to early 20th century France where Degas found inspiration for his realistic sculptures. This artwork represents not only the artist's exceptional talent but also serves as a testament to the dedication and skill required by dancers in their profession. Currently housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, this heritage art continues to captivate viewers from around the world. It serves as a reminder of Degas' profound influence on French art during his time and remains an enduring symbol of beauty and grace within ballet culture.
