"Danseuse en 'Quatrième devant'" is a sculpture by the French artist Edgar Degas, renowned for his contributions to Impressionism and particularly for his depictions of dancers. This sculpture is part of a series of works by Degas that explore the form and movement of ballet dancers, a subject that fascinated the artist throughout his career. The title of the piece refers to a ballet position known as "quatrième devant," which is one of the basic positions in classical ballet where the dancer stands with one leg extended forward, the foot pointed, and the arms positioned in a specific manner.

Crafted in wax, a medium Degas frequently used for his sculptural works, "Danseuse en 'Quatrième devant'" showcases the artist's keen interest in capturing the dynamic and ephemeral nature of dance. The sculpture's composition reflects Degas's intimate knowledge of ballet and his ability to convey the physicality and grace of the dancer's body in a moment of stillness. The figure's posture and the attention to detail in the musculature and costume highlight Degas's skill in rendering the human form with both realism and sensitivity.

Degas's sculptures, including "Danseuse en 'Quatrième devant'," were not widely known during his lifetime, as he exhibited only one publicly, the famous "Little Dancer of Fourteen Years." It was only after his death that a larger collection of his sculptural works was discovered in his studio, many of which were later cast in bronze to preserve them and to make them accessible to a broader audience. These bronzes have since been exhibited in museums around the world, allowing viewers to appreciate Degas's sculptural legacy and its significant contribution to the understanding of his artistic vision.

As with many of Degas's sculptures, "Danseuse en 'Quatrième devant'" is celebrated for its innovative approach to form and movement, and it continues to be a subject of study for both art historians and those interested in the intersection of visual art and dance. The piece is emblematic of Degas's enduring fascination with the ballet and his mastery of capturing the essence of its performers in his art.
