"Les Petits Rats" is a term that refers to the young student dancers of the Paris Opera Ballet, rather than a specific work by Edgar Degas. Degas, a renowned French artist, is famous for his works depicting scenes of Parisian life, including ballet dancers. Throughout his career, he became fascinated with the world of ballet, which led him to create numerous paintings, sculptures, and pastels of dancers rehearsing, performing, or resting.

Degas's interest in ballet dancers began in the 1860s and continued throughout his life. His works capturing the "petits rats" of the Paris Opera Ballet are celebrated for their realistic portrayal of the demanding and often unglamorous aspects of the dancers' lives. He often depicted these young dancers in behind-the-scenes settings, such as dance studios or backstage at the opera house, highlighting their dedication and the rigorous discipline of their profession.

The term "Les Petits Rats" became synonymous with the grace and beauty of these dancers as well as the grueling training they underwent. Degas's artworks provide a unique insight into the world of the Paris Opera Ballet during the late 19th century. His ability to capture the movement, light, and texture of the dancers' costumes and surroundings has contributed significantly to his reputation as a master of his craft.

While Degas created many works featuring ballet dancers, there is no single painting or sculpture specifically titled "Les Petits Rats" by Edgar Degas. His oeuvre includes celebrated pieces such as "The Dance Class" (1874), "Dancer with a Bouquet of Flowers" (also known as "Star of the Ballet") (1878), and "Little Dancer of Fourteen Years" (1881), a sculpture that has become one of the most iconic representations of a young ballet dancer.

Degas's works on the subject of ballet dancers are held in high esteem and can be found in major museums around the world. They continue to captivate audiences with their blend of realism and impressionistic sensibility, offering a timeless glimpse into the world of the Paris Opera Ballet and the lives of the "petits rats."
