The painting shows a ballerina sitting in a comfortable position, in profile. She is dressed in a typical ballet costume with a tutu, which is decorated with a blue ribbon. Her ballet toes are on and there are traces of work on her legs - red spots or abrasions. Her head is bent down and her hands are resting on her feet. The painting has an impressionistic style with visible brushstrokes and diffused light, which gives the scene a kind of haze and softness.

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.
