Painting Description
''Dancer with Raised Arms'' is a pastel drawing by the French artist Edgar Degas, created circa 1872. This work is part of Degas's extensive series of ballet dancers, which occupied a significant portion of his artistic output and is among the subjects for which he is best known. The drawing depicts a young ballet dancer, known as a ballerina, captured in a moment of rest or rehearsal, with one arm gracefully lifted above her head, suggesting movement or poise.
Edgar Degas (1834–1917) was a prominent Impressionist artist, although he preferred to be called a realist. He was particularly interested in the movement and the human figure, and his studies of dancers allowed him to explore these themes in depth. Degas's dancers are often portrayed in candid, behind-the-scenes settings, offering a glimpse into the world of the Paris Opera Ballet during the late 19th century.
''Dancer with Raised Arms'' showcases Degas's mastery of pastels, a medium he favored for its ability to convey texture and light with immediacy. The artist's use of color and his delicate rendering of the dancer's costume and musculature reflect his intimate knowledge of the dancer's form and the atmosphere of the ballet studio. The composition's informal and seemingly spontaneous nature is characteristic of Degas's approach to capturing fleeting moments of everyday life.
The artwork is notable for its exploration of the themes of youth and beauty, as well as the rigorous discipline of ballet. It also reflects the changing role of women in society and the arts during the late 19th century, as the Paris Opera Ballet provided one of the few professional avenues for women to achieve public acclaim and financial independence.
''Dancer with Raised Arms'' is held in a private collection or a public institution, and it has been exhibited in various art galleries and museums around the world. The drawing continues to be studied and admired for its technical brilliance and its evocative portrayal of the world of dance.
