Dancer Fastening the String of Her Tights c. 1885 - 1890

"Dancer Fastening the String of Her Tights" is a bronze sculpture by Edgar Degas, created between 1885 and 1890. Degas, known for his depictions of dancers, captures a candid moment of a ballerina adjusting her tights. The sculpture's realistic, almost unfinished style, with its rough surfaces and uneven patina, adds to the sense of immediacy, as if frozen in time. The sculpture is a testament to Degas's fascination with capturing the fleeting movements and intimate moments of dancers.
