Danserinde der sætter sit hår; halvfigur i profil til venstre, halvt bagfra 1888 - 1891

This charcoal sketch by Edgar Degas, titled "Danserinde der sætter sit hår; halvfigur i profil til venstre, halvt bagfra," depicts a ballerina in a casual pose, captured in a moment of private preparation. The artwork, created between 1888 and 1891, showcases Degas's signature style of capturing the movement and grace of dancers. The subject's fluid form and the artist's quick, expressive strokes convey a sense of dynamism and intimacy. This piece, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offers a glimpse into the world of ballet, a subject Degas explored throughout his career.
