The Pink Dancers, Before the Ballet 1884

"The Pink Dancers, Before the Ballet" (1884) by Edgar Degas depicts a group of ballerinas in their pink tutus, backstage before a performance. Degas was renowned for his portrayal of dancers, capturing their grace and elegance in candid moments. This pastel work is characteristic of his Impressionist style, emphasizing loose brushstrokes and a focus on capturing fleeting moments. The painting is currently on display at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, Denmark.
