Woman Seated, Wiping Her Left Hip Possibly 1890 - 1911

"Woman Seated, Wiping Her Left Hip" is a bronze sculpture by Edgar Degas, created sometime between 1890 and 1911. This sculpture, capturing a moment of intimacy and vulnerability, exemplifies Degas's signature style of depicting the human form in motion, and his fascination with the female figure. The sculpture's naturalistic pose and textured surface, characteristic of Degas's late works, lend an air of realism to the piece. Degas, known for his paintings and sculptures of dancers, often explored themes of movement and the fleeting nature of human expression.
