ID: #8450 | Impressionism | People

The picture shows a group of ballet dancers in a ballroom during rest and exercise. Some of the girls are sitting and relaxing while others are standing in front of a mirror or exercising. The room is illuminated with dim light, creating a warm atmosphere. The scene is rendered realistically with attention to detail in the white ballet dresses and the graceful figures of the dancers. In the background are two doors and a black piano on which one of the dancers sits while another adjusts the toe of her ballet shoes.

Edgar Degas (1834-1917). French painter and sculptor. He is considered one of the founders of Impressionism, although he called himself a realist. As an 1870s painter associated with dance, over half his works are devoted to depicting ballerinas, ballet performances and practices. His portrayal of motion is one of the most perfect seen. He also devoted himself to portraiture, and his portraits and nudes are among the most admired in history.
