More about this artwork

This image captures the exquisite charm of Edgar Degas's "Danseuse attachant son chausson" from 1887, an intimate glimpse into the quiet moments of a ballet dancer's routine. This pastel on paper exemplifies Degas’s mastery in portraying movement and light, focusing here on a ballerina as she bends forward to tie her ballet slipper.The composition is remarkable in its emphasis on form and posture. The dancer, absorbed in her task, is depicted with her body angled in a way that highlights the elegant curve of her back and the delicate positioning of her arms. The contrast of the rich, golden tones of her bodice and the soft, translucent whites of her tutu adds a tactile dimension to this work.Degas's use of vibrant blues and greens to sketch the surrounding space brings a lively atmosphere to the scene, while the brownish background focuses our attention solely on the figure. His handling of pastels creates a blend of colors that seem to echo the poise and grace of the dancer herself.In "Danseuse attachant son chausson," Degas celebrates not just the spectacle of dance, but also the disciplined, behind-the-scenes moments that contribute to the artistry of ballet.
