About the piece
Created around 1890, 'Dancers, Pink and Green' is a quintessential example of Edgar Degas's fascination with the private world of the ballet. Using a bold palette of emerald green and soft pink, Degas employs his signature off-center composition and loose, rhythmic brushwork to transform a fleeting backstage moment into a timeless study of light and form.
