More about this artwork

Experience the grace and fluidity of movement captured in Edgar Degas' sketch, "Dancer on Stage and in Motion," created around the early 1880s. This drawing offers viewers a glimpse into Degas' fascination with the world of ballet, exhibiting his masterful ability to portray movement and form with swift, energetic strokes.The artwork depicts a young ballerina in mid-performance, her body dynamically posed with one arm elegantly lifted above her head and the other extended outward. Her posture and the flow of her tutu convey a sense of motion, as if she is caught in a fleeting, twirling dance. The sketch is rendered with a delicate, yet confident use of line and shading, highlighting both the physical exertion and the ethereal quality of the dancer.Degas’ portrayal of the human figure, particularly dancers, goes beyond mere representation; it explores the rigorous discipline of ballet through an intimate, almost voyeuristic perspective.
