"Two Dancers Resting" is a pastel drawing by the French artist Edgar Degas, created at the end of the 19th century, a period during which Degas was particularly fascinated with the subject of ballet dancers. This work is part of a larger series of paintings, sketches, and sculptures that explore the behind-the-scenes world of the Paris Opera Ballet, capturing the dancers in various states of movement and rest.

The drawing depicts two ballet dancers in a candid moment of repose, likely during a rehearsal or intermission. The composition is characterized by Degas's masterful use of pastels to convey the texture of the dancers' costumes and the softness of their flesh. His technique involves layering and blending colors to create a sense of depth and luminosity. The dancers are typically portrayed off-center, with one often cropped by the edge of the paper, a compositional choice that reflects Degas's interest in photography and Japanese prints.

"Two Dancers Resting" is notable for its intimate portrayal of the dancers' informal and unguarded moment, a contrast to the poised and graceful figures seen on stage. Degas's focus on the reality of the dancers' lives, including the physical strain and exhaustion they endured, brought a new dimension to the representation of ballet in art. The work is exemplary of Degas's innovative approach to composition and his contribution to the Impressionist movement, although he preferred to be associated with the term "Realist" or "Independent."

As with many of Degas's ballet scenes, "Two Dancers Resting" is celebrated for its insight into the world of dance and its reflection of the artist's ongoing exploration of movement, light, and color. The drawing is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance within the oeuvre of Edgar Degas.
