Dancer with Tambourine 1882

"Dancer with Tambourine", created in 1882 by Edgar Degas, captures the fleeting moment of a ballerina in motion. Degas, known for his depictions of dancers, utilized pastel on paper to create this artwork, which is now in a private collection. The ballerina's pose, with outstretched arm holding a tambourine, is both graceful and dynamic, showcasing Degas' mastery of capturing movement in a static medium. This pastel drawing reflects Degas' signature style, featuring a blurred background and a focus on the dancer's anatomy and the movement of her limbs.
