by Edgar Degas
Edgar Degas captured dancers backstage, waiting in the wings or preparing to go on. These behind-the-scenes moments reveal the contrast between public performance and private preparation.
Degas' backstage access gave him unique views of the ballet world. This painting is at the Pushkin Museum in Moscow.
