About the piece

Created around 1895, this expressive pastel study by Edgar Degas belongs to his celebrated late series of 'Russian Dancers.' The work captures the rhythmic energy and swirling motion of folk dancers, rendered in vibrant layers of pink and white against a textured landscape of greens and yellows. It exemplifies Degas' late-career mastery of color and his lifelong fascination with the mechanics of movement.
