"Danseuse Faisant Des Pointes" (English: "Dancer on Pointe") is an exquisite pastel and charcoal drawing created by the French artist Edgar Degas between 1878 and 1879. This work is part of Degas's renowned series of ballet dancers, which occupied a significant portion of his artistic output and has come to be synonymous with his name. Degas, a leading figure in the Impressionist movement, had a profound interest in the movement and grace of ballet dancers, which he explored through various mediums including painting, sculpture, and drawing.

Measuring 64 cm x 47 cm, "Danseuse Faisant Des Pointes" captures the poise and concentration of a ballet dancer practicing her pointe work. The piece is characterized by its delicate yet expressive use of pastels, a medium that Degas mastered and frequently employed to convey the subtleties of light and form. The dancer is depicted in a three-quarter view, with her body slightly turned away from the viewer, as she rises onto the tips of her toes—a challenging position that requires strength and balance.

Degas's fascination with ballet dancers was not merely an aesthetic preference but also a reflection of his interest in the study of human movement and the behind-the-scenes world of the Paris Opera Ballet. His works often portray dancers at rest, in rehearsal, or in moments of candid exertion, rather than during public performances. "Danseuse Faisant Des Pointes" exemplifies this intimate glimpse into the daily life of a dancer, emphasizing the discipline and effort behind the artistry of ballet.

The drawing is a testament to Degas's innovative composition and his ability to capture the fleeting moments of everyday life. The artwork's provenance includes its display in various galleries and its recognition as a significant piece within Degas's oeuvre of ballet-themed works. "Danseuse Faisant Des Pointes" continues to be admired for its technical brilliance and its enduring contribution to the Impressionist movement's exploration of movement, light, and modern life.
