"Dancers with Hair in Braids" is a painting by the French artist Edgar Degas, a prominent figure in the Impressionist movement known for his profound influence on the portrayal of movement and his studies of dancers. Created circa 1895, this artwork is part of Degas's extensive series of ballet dancers, which occupied much of his artistic career from the 1870s until his death in 1917.

The painting depicts a group of young ballet dancers, or "petits rats" as they were colloquially known, at a dance class or rehearsal. Characteristic of Degas's work, the dancers are shown in a candid, informal arrangement, capturing a moment of rest or casual interaction rather than a staged performance. The title "Dancers with Hair in Braids" highlights a specific detail of the dancers' appearance, suggesting an emphasis on the youthful and informal aspects of the subjects.

Degas's technique in this painting reflects his evolving style, which by the 1890s had become looser and more expressive, with a complex interplay of light and color. The brushwork is typically more gestural and less detailed than in his earlier works, indicative of his interest in capturing the essence of movement and form over strict realism. The use of pastel, which Degas increasingly favored in his later years, allowed for vibrant coloration and a soft texture that complemented the delicate subject matter.

The painting is a testament to Degas's innovative approach to composition and perspective. He often employed unusual viewpoints and cropped figures to create dynamic and engaging scenes that draw the viewer into the world of the dancers. "Dancers with Hair in Braids" is no exception, showcasing Degas's skill in rendering the human figure in motion and his sensitivity to the subtleties of posture and expression.

"Dancers with Hair in Braids" is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be a subject of study for its contribution to the Impressionist movement and its insight into the world of ballet. The painting is emblematic of Degas's lifelong fascination with the Paris Opera Ballet and his dedication to exploring the possibilities of painting as a medium for capturing the ephemeral nature of life and movement.
