EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Edgar Degas' masterpiece, "Danseuse au repos" created between 1897 and 1900. The artwork, rendered in pastel and counterproof on paper, measures 21.5 x 17.2 cm and is currently held in a private collection. In this exquisite piece, Degas beautifully captures the essence of a ballet dancer at rest. The woman's graceful pose exudes tranquility as she takes a moment to recover from her rigorous practice. Her delicate ballet shoes lie nearby, evidence of the dedication and hard work required to achieve such elegance. As an impressionist artist, Degas skillfully portrays the female form with his signature style. Through careful study and meticulous drawing techniques, he brings life to ballerinas on canvas. The French impressionist movement heavily influenced Degas' work, evident in his use of light and color to create depth and atmosphere within the composition. This particular painting exemplifies his ability to capture fleeting moments with remarkable precision. The ballerina's tired expression hints at the exhaustion that accompanies her artistry while seated gracefully in her tutu—a symbol synonymous with classical ballet. Bridgeman Images presents this stunning print for art enthusiasts who appreciate the beauty of dance captured through an impressionistic lens.
