Siddende danserinde, som snører sine sko 1878 - 1880

"Siddende danserinde, som snører sine sko" (Seated Dancer Tying her Shoes) is a monotype by Edgar Degas, created between 1878 and 1880. The artwork, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Degas's fascination with the world of ballet. The monotype depicts a ballerina in a simple pose, captured in a moment of intimate backstage preparation. Degas's characteristic use of soft, hazy lines and muted colors creates a sense of movement and fleeting beauty. The composition, though simple, is full of grace and elegance, offering a glimpse into the hidden lives of dancers.
