"End of an Arabesque" (French: "Fin d'Arabesque"), painted in 1877 by the French artist Edgar Degas, is a notable work from his prolific body of art centered on ballet dancers. As a member of the Impressionist movement, Degas was renowned for his exploration of movement, light, and human form, often capturing his subjects in candid, off-stage moments that reveal the rigorous world of ballet behind the glamour of performances.

This painting, measuring 182.2 x 88.3 cm, is part of a series of works that Degas dedicated to the study of ballet dancers, a theme that preoccupied him throughout his career. "End of an Arabesque" is particularly significant for its depiction of a dancer in a moment of repose, highlighting the grace and exhaustion that coexist in the life of a ballerina. The work is executed in oil on canvas, a medium that allowed Degas to experiment with color and texture to enhance the impression of movement and light.

In "End of an Arabesque," Degas employs his characteristic asymmetrical composition and innovative use of perspective, which often involved viewing the subject from unusual angles. The painting showcases his mastery in rendering the human figure and his ability to convey the physical demands of the dancer's art form. The dancer's pose, with one arm extended and her gaze turned away from the viewer, invites contemplation of the solitary nature of her practice.

The artwork is a testament to Degas' interest in the effects of artificial light on color, as seen in the nuanced shading of the dancer's costume and the subtle interplay of shadows in the background. It also reflects the artist's fascination with the daily lives of Parisian women, particularly those in the entertainment industry, whom he portrayed with empathy and without idealization.

"End of an Arabesque" is held in a private collection and has been exhibited in various museums as part of retrospectives on Degas' work. It continues to be studied for its contribution to the development of Impressionism and for its insightful portrayal of the world of ballet in the late 19th century.
