Arms and legs curve and stretch, delicate white skirts toss and sway. The white tutus depicted here are the practice dress worn by the younger dancers at the Paris Opéra in the late nineteenth century.\n\nSince they were small children, the dancers would have trained daily in the steps and positions that are the vocabulary of classical ballet, performing them over and over again. Degas repeats these characteristic movements in many of his pictures, perhaps not entirely for aesthetic reasons: repetition is exactly what the dancers do. This also seems connected to his own committed work ethic – he practised his craft tirelessly, making countless preparatory studies for every painting. It’s as if he recognised an affinity with these ethereal creatures whose life was dedicated to the hard, often grinding, practice and effort of producing any work of art that appears impromptu and effortless.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/hilaire-germain-edgar-degas-ballet-dancers\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - Ballet Dancers\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hilaire-Germain-Edgar Degas","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509658980595,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (28 1\/2\" x 28 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509659013363,"sku":null,"price":1352.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (17 3\/4\" x 17 7\/8\")","offer_id":50509659046131,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (21 7\/8\" x 22 1\/8\")","offer_id":50509659078899,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (26 3\/4\" x 27\")","offer_id":50509659111667,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (34 1\/2\" x 34 7\/8\")","offer_id":50509659144435,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (41 3\/8\" x 41 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509659177203,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (48 3\/4\" x 49 1\/4\")","offer_id":50509659209971,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (58 1\/2\" x 59\")","offer_id":50509659242739,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/BalletDancers.jpg?v=1789270614","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/ballet-dancers-ngal793","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
