Product description
A quiet rustle of tulle and the focused concentration of a backstage moment define this masterwork. This print captures the ballerina in a deeply human, unposed stance, leaning forward to tighten her slipper before returning to the stage.
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. Impressionism remains one of the easiest styles to live with, suiting almost any room. The original dates from 1885. Impressionist paintings use visible brushstrokes and soft colour that feel bright and airy on a wall.
Styling this Edgar Degas print
Its blue and pastel palette makes this Edgar Degas print easy to build a room around. The tall format of “Dancer Adjusting Her Shoe” suits narrow walls, hallways and the space beside a doorway, and it is a natural fit for a bedroom; 18×24″ is a versatile middle size. Finish “Dancer Adjusting Her Shoe” with a black or antique-gold frame: its blue and pastel palette pairs naturally with white walls, navy or denim textiles and pale oak.
