Product description
In the nuanced, observational style of late 19th-century French Impressionism, this piece captures a private moment within a rehearsal studio. The composition features dancers in white tutus, their forms rendered in soft, chalky pastels that emphasize the texture of fabric and the glow of stage skin.
About Edgar Degas
Degas is best known for ballet dancers, painted rehearsing and resting as often as performing. He worked in pastel, oil and sculpture, and often used unusual, cropped viewpoints inspired by photography. Impressionist paintings use visible brushstrokes and soft colour that feel bright and airy on a wall. The original image dates from 1880. His soft pastel colour suits bedrooms, dressing areas and calm living spaces.
