"The Rehearsal" is a painting by the French artist Edgar Degas, created circa 1873-1878. It belongs to a series of works by Degas that depict scenes of ballet rehearsals, capturing the behind-the-scenes moments of the Paris Opera Ballet. Degas is renowned for his contributions to Impressionism, and his ballet-themed artworks are among the most celebrated in his oeuvre, showcasing his interest in movement, light, and the human figure.

The painting features a group of ballet dancers in various states of repose and activity, with some practicing their steps while others rest or adjust their attire. The composition is characterized by Degas's use of perspective, with the ballet dancers arranged on a diagonal that recedes into the background, where a ballet master can often be seen supervising the rehearsal. The work is notable for its candid and informal portrayal of the dancers, a departure from the more idealized representations of ballet commonly seen in the art of the period.

Degas's technique in "The Rehearsal" includes the use of pastel over a monotype, a printmaking process that creates a unique print. This combination of media allowed Degas to achieve a rich texture and a sense of immediacy in his depiction of the dancers and their environment. The artist's use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to the details of the dancers' attire and the rehearsal space, contribute to the painting's sense of realism and intimacy.

"The Rehearsal" is held in high regard for its innovative approach to composition and technique, as well as its insightful portrayal of the world of dance. The painting is part of a larger body of Degas's work that reflects his fascination with the Parisian ballet and his broader exploration of themes related to modern life and the human experience. It is housed in various collections around the world, with versions of the scene found in prominent institutions such as the Fogg Museum at Harvard University and the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.
