Edgar Degas (Aft.) Color Etching on Paper, Ballerina, The Danse Dessins
Striking color etching after Edgar Degas's original pastel drawing, titled Ballerina from the Danse Dessins. The image is etched with sensitivity to Degas's nuanced draftsmanship and features subtle hand-applied coloration that echoes the vibrancy of the original pastel. This elegant composition depicts a young ballerina at the barre, a quintessential Degas subject. The dancer's pose captures the quiet intensity of rehearsal, with soft hatching and expressive linework conveying grace, structure, and motion. It is signed in the plate at the lower left with Degas's distinctive signature and beautifully presented in a giltwood frame with beaded inner molding and black mat. A custom brass nameplate engraved with the artist's name and life dates enhances the display.
