Dressed Dancer at Rest, Hands Behind Her Back, Right Leg Forward (Second State) 1890 - 1920

Edgar Degas' "Dressed Dancer at Rest, Hands Behind Her Back, Right Leg Forward" (1890-1920) is a bronze sculpture depicting a ballerina in a moment of repose. The piece is a prime example of Degas' fascination with the human form, particularly the movement and grace of dancers. The rough, unfinished surface of the sculpture adds to its sense of realism and immediacy, capturing a fleeting moment in time. The sculpture is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
