''Dancer'' (sometimes referred to as ''Dancer Adjusting Her Shoe'', ''Dancer Looking at the Sole of Her Right Foot'', or ''Dancer at Rest'') is a sculpture by the French artist Edgar Degas, created sometime between 1871 and 1881. This piece is one of the many depictions of dancers by Degas, who is renowned for his works portraying the lives of ballet dancers. The sculpture stands out as a testament to Degas's intricate study of motion and his attempt to capture the ephemeral moments of everyday life.

Crafted in wax, an unusual choice of material at the time, ''Dancer'' was part of Degas's innovative approach to sculpture. He often used wax, clay, and other pliable materials to model figures, which allowed him to experiment with form and posture in a way that traditional sculpting in marble or bronze did not permit. The sculpture was later cast in bronze, a process that occurred posthumously, preserving the delicate details of the original wax model.

The figure depicted in ''Dancer'' is a young ballet dancer caught in a moment of repose, possibly adjusting her shoe or examining her foot, a common act for a dancer but one that also reveals the physical strain of ballet. Degas's focus on such candid moments demystifies the glamor of the ballet, offering a more nuanced and realistic portrayal of the dancers' experiences.

The sculpture is celebrated for its realism and attention to detail. Degas's understanding of human anatomy and movement is evident in the way the dancer's body is posed. The tension in her muscles and the naturalistic positioning of her limbs reflect a moment that is both transient and telling, a brief insight into the life behind the curtain.

''Dancer'' is part of a larger body of work by Degas that includes paintings, drawings, and sculptures, all exploring the theme of dance. His work is often associated with the Impressionist movement, although Degas preferred to be considered an independent artist. Today, ''Dancer'' and other similar works by Degas can be found in various museum collections around the world, continuing to captivate audiences with their intimate and evocative portrayal of the world of dance.
