About the piece
Created in 1898, this pastel on paper showcases Edgar Degas' late-career mastery of color and form. Moving away from the precise lines of his earlier years toward expressive, layered strokes, the artist captures two dancers in a candid moment between performances. The striking contrast between the luminous green tutus and the warm orange and ochre tones creates a modern, energetic composition that remains a hallmark of his celebrated ballet series.
