EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Dancer Putting on Her Stocking, 1890s / 1911" by Edgar Degas transports us back to the enchanting world of late 19th-century dance. The renowned French artist, known for his realistic portrayals of dancers, captures a fleeting moment in time with remarkable precision and grace. In this exquisite piece, we witness a female dancer delicately balancing on one leg as she gracefully pulls up her stocking. Degas' attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the sculpture - from the intricate metal armature that supports the figure's posture to the pigmented beeswax that brings warmth and life to her skin tone. The use of wax as a medium adds an ethereal quality to this artwork, enhancing its tactile appeal and lending it an almost lifelike presence. With each stroke and contour meticulously crafted by hand, Degas masterfully conveys not only the physicality but also the emotional intensity inherent in dance. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing creation housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, we are transported into a world where movement becomes frozen in time. Through his artistry, Degas invites us to appreciate both the beauty and discipline required by dancers while offering us a glimpse into their intimate moments behind-the-scenes. "Dancer Putting on Her Stocking" stands as a testament to Edgar Degas' unparalleled ability to capture human form with utmost realism while evoking profound emotions within viewers. It serves as a timeless reminder
