About the piece
Created around 1899, this masterful work by Edgar Degas showcases his signature fascination with the ballet. Using layered pastel and energetic hatching, Degas captures three dancers in a tight, sculptural composition, focusing on the dramatic play of light across their shoulders and the luminous, shimmering textures of their colorful tutus.
