Description: Dancer in Pink Dress (Danseuse en Robe Rose) (1880) by Edgar Degas (French, 1834 - 1917) Highlights Print OnlySigned in the print/plate lower right Details Image Size: 10 x 13 inches Paper Size: 14 x 17 Medium: Paper Comments The artwork, “Dancer in pink dress” by Edgar Degas, dates back to 1880 and is a quintessential example of the Impressionist movement and is classed as a genre painting. This piece encapsulates the essence of Impressionism through its loose brushwork and the portrayal of the light and movement associated with the dancer.The artwork depicts a young dancer, positioned off-center, facing to the side in a three-quarter view. She is clad in a voluminous pink dress that appears almost ethereal due to the artist’s use of soft, delicate brushstrokes, creating a sense of texture and flowing movement. The tutu is rendered with touches of light and shade, suggesting its airy material. Adornments of flowers in her hair and on her dress suggest a performance or a moment of preparation before a dance.The background is indistinct and impressionistic, a typical feature of Degas’ works, where the emphasis is on capturing the moment’s fleeting effect rather than the details of the setting. The use of color in the background complements the hues of the dancer’s attire, with strokes of green, yellow, and pink that give a vibrant yet harmonious overall appearance.Despite the lack of facial details, the pose and the upward gaze of the dancer convey a sense of poise and concentration. Degas was known for his works focused on dancers and their environments, and this painting is a testament to his fascination with the world of ballet and the grace of its performers. Condition (Please see grading guide below) (I) Overall: Very Good (II) Content: Very Good (Some toning; some foxing on top of print in margin) (III) Frame: No Frame, Print Only Artist Bio Edgar Degas (19 July 1834 - 27 September 1917) was a French Impressionist artist famous for his pastel drawings and oil paintings. Degas also produced bronze sculptures, prints, and drawings. Degas is especially identified with the subject of dance; more than half of his works depict dancers. Although Degas is regarded as one of the founders of Impressionism, he rejected the term, preferring to be called a realist, and did not paint outdoors as many Impressionists did. Degas was a superb draftsman, and particularly masterly in depicting movement, as can be seen in his rendition of dancers and bathing female nudes. In addition to ballet dancers and bathing women, Degas painted racehorses and racing jockeys, as well as portraits. His portraits are notable for their psychological complexity and their portrayal of human isolation.
