"In Front of the Mirror" (French: "Devant la glace") is an 1889 pastel and charcoal artwork by the French artist Edgar Degas, renowned for his contributions to Impressionism and his fascination with the subject of dance. This piece is part of a series of works that Degas dedicated to exploring the behind-the-scenes world of ballet dancers, capturing their moments of practice, rest, and preparation.

The artwork depicts a young ballet dancer in a candid and intimate moment as she stands before a mirror, presumably adjusting her attire or examining her form. The use of pastel allows for a soft yet vibrant interplay of colors, a technique that Degas mastered and often employed to convey texture and movement. The reflection in the mirror is a recurring theme in Degas's oeuvre, serving as a metaphor for self-scrutiny and the duality of the public and private selves.

Measuring 95.9 x 76.2 cm, "In Front of the Mirror" is exemplary of Degas's later work, where his brushstrokes became looser and his compositions more experimental. The artwork's composition, with its off-center placement of the dancer and the mirror's reflection, demonstrates Degas's departure from traditional perspectives and his embrace of unusual spatial arrangements. This approach not only reflects the artist's innovative spirit but also adds a sense of immediacy and authenticity to the scene.

The piece is held in high regard for its technical proficiency and its insightful portrayal of the life of dancers, a subject that Degas revisited throughout his career. "In Front of the Mirror" is not only a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the human form and the nuances of light and shadow but also an intimate glimpse into the private world of performers away from the public eye. The artwork continues to be celebrated for its contribution to the understanding of Impressionist techniques and the thematic exploration of the performing arts during the late 19th century.
