''Dancers Practicing at the Barre'' is an 1877 oil on canvas painting by the French artist Edgar Degas, who is widely regarded as one of the masters of Impressionism, although he preferred to be called a realist. The painting measures 38 x 46 cm and is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City. It is one of the many works by Degas that depict dancers; a subject that became central to his artistic output, allowing him to explore various aspects of form, movement, and spatial composition.

In ''Dancers Practicing at the Barre'', Degas captures a candid moment of daily life in the ballet studio, a behind-the-scenes glimpse that contrasts with the grandeur and poise of staged performances. The composition features two ballerinas in practice attire, one standing en pointe and the other adjusting her shoe, both holding onto the barre for support. The work is noted for its asymmetrical composition and the unusual cropping of the figures, which suggests the influence of photography and Japanese prints on Degas's work.

Degas's interest in the ballet extended beyond the dancers themselves; he was fascinated by the rehearsal spaces and the rigorous training that the dancers underwent. His paintings often reflect the hard work and discipline required in the world of dance, as well as the grace and beauty of the dancers' movements. ''Dancers Practicing at the Barre'' exemplifies Degas's skill in rendering the human figure and his innovative use of perspective and space. The painting's palette is relatively subdued, with an emphasis on the earthy tones of the studio interior, which serves to highlight the dancers' form and the physicality of their practice.

The work is a testament to Degas's dedication to capturing modern life and his continuous experimentation with composition and technique. ''Dancers Practicing at the Barre'' remains an important piece within Degas's oeuvre and contributes significantly to the broader narrative of 19th-century art, particularly within the context of Impressionism and its exploration of light, movement, and everyday subjects.
