"Bowing Dancer" (also known as "Dancer Bowing" or "The Curtsey") is a sculpture by the French artist Edgar Degas, created sometime around 1880–1885. This work is part of Degas's renowned series of ballet dancers, which captures the behind-the-scenes moments of dancers at the Paris Opéra. The sculpture is executed in wax, a medium that Degas often used for his sculptural works, allowing him to mold and adjust the figure with a high degree of precision and subtlety.

The piece depicts a young ballet dancer in the act of bowing, a gesture of both performance and politeness. The dancer's body is tilted forward, her head modestly downcast, and one arm sweeps elegantly behind her. This pose captures the grace and discipline of the ballet world, themes that are recurrent in Degas's oeuvre. The sculpture is notable for its dynamic representation of movement and its detailed attention to the physicality and costume of the dancer.

As with many of Degas's sculptures, "Bowing Dancer" was not cast in bronze until after the artist's death. The original wax model was part of a larger collection of sculptures found in Degas's studio at the time of his passing in 1917. His heirs authorized the casting of these works into bronze, which helped to preserve them and make them more accessible to the public. The bronzes were cast by the Hébrard foundry in a series of editions that have since been displayed in museums and collections around the world.

"Bowing Dancer" reflects Degas's innovative approach to sculpture and his fascination with the human form in motion. The work is an important part of the artist's exploration of dance and contributes to our understanding of his artistic legacy. It continues to be studied and admired for its technical mastery and its evocative portrayal of the life of dancers.
