Practicing at the Bar

The painting shows two young ballerinas practicing in a dance studio. They are dressed in typical white ballet dresses with tulle skirts and their hair is tied up. One of them is standing on tiptoes, the other is bending over and resting her hand on the trapeze. A ballet bag can be seen on the floor to the left. The studio walls are simple, with a yellowish tint, and the lighting in the room creates soft shadows on the floor.

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.
