Edgar Degas's "Pregnant Woman" is a bronze sculpture created between 1891 and 1920, and currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. This small-scale sculpture depicts a nude woman in a contemplative pose, her hands resting on her swollen belly, highlighting the transformative power of motherhood. Degas's unique approach to sculpting, emphasizing movement and capturing fleeting moments, is evident in the figure's relaxed stance and the unfinished surface of the bronze.
