The Dance Studio, Edgar Degas, art, artists, scans, paintings, images

Edgar Degas (French, 1834–1917). Dancer, 1880–85. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Gift of The Philip and Janice Levin Foundation, 2007 (2007.332.1) | The focus of this pastel is the dancer's foreshortened arm, drawn on a diagonal from the lowered hand to the head. The pose reappears in several of Degas's more finished pictures, most often in scenes with a dancer clutching a bouquet of flowers and bowing at the conclusion of a performance. #dance
