"Mademoiselle Fiocre in the Ballet 'La Source'" is an 1867-1868 painting by the French artist Edgar Degas, who is renowned for his works depicting scenes of Parisian life and his particular interest in ballet dancers. The painting is part of Degas's early explorations into the world of ballet, which would become a central theme throughout his career. It portrays Eugénie Fiocre, a celebrated ballet dancer of the time, who was known for her performances at the Paris Opéra.

The artwork is notable for its blend of reality and fantasy. While it depicts a scene from the ballet 'La Source', which premiered in Paris in 1866, Degas has chosen to situate Fiocre in an imagined Orientalist landscape rather than a realistic theatre setting. This aligns with the ballet's narrative, which is set in a mythical East. The painting captures the dancer in a moment of repose, reflecting Degas's interest in the poise and grace of ballet dancers both on and off the stage.

Degas's use of color and light in "Mademoiselle Fiocre in the Ballet 'La Source'" demonstrates his developing impressionistic tendencies, although he never fully identified with the Impressionist movement. The painting's composition, with its off-center placement of the figure and the interaction of the dancer with her environment, showcases Degas's innovative approach to portraiture and genre painting.

"Mademoiselle Fiocre in the Ballet 'La Source'" is held in the collection of the Brooklyn Museum, New York, and remains a significant work in the study of Degas's early period and his lifelong fascination with the ballet.
