Danseuses en maillot, au repos 1900 - 1905

Edgar Degas's "Danseuses en maillot, au repos" is a charcoal drawing created between 1900 and 1905, showcasing the artist's fascination with the world of ballet. Degas's depiction of dancers in candid, unglamorous moments, like resting or adjusting their costumes, provides a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes reality of their profession. This drawing, with its expressive lines and masterful use of light and shadow, exemplifies Degas's signature style and his ability to capture movement and emotion in a single, fleeting moment.
