Dancer Holding Her Right Foot in Her Right Hand c. 1900 - 1911

Edgar Degas's "Dancer Holding Her Right Foot in Her Right Hand" (c. 1900-1911) is a bronze sculpture capturing a fleeting moment of a dancer's pose. Degas, known for his depictions of dancers, often portrayed them in dynamic and off-balance poses. This sculpture, with its rough, unfinished surface, exemplifies Degas's interest in capturing the immediacy and spontaneity of movement. The sculpture's simplified form and dynamic pose exemplify the artist's exploration of the human figure and its movement, showcasing a signature style of Degas's later works.
