About the piece

Created around 1899, this masterful pastel by Edgar Degas showcases his late-career obsession with color and movement. Depicting a troupe of Ukrainian folk dancers, the work uses bold charcoal outlines and a luminous palette of oranges, greens, and blues to evoke the swirling energy of a performance. This piece represents a significant departure from his better-known ballet subjects, exploring broader European folk traditions with Impressionist flair.
