Description
This lot consists of a pastel illustration on paper, done in the impressionist style of Edgar Degas (French, 1834-1917). "Degas" is hand written at bottom left. Image depicts a trio of dancers in various poses. A testament to the raw talent and poignant sensibility so often associated with Degas. This piece would be a highlight of any collectors gallery. Overall framed dimensions measure approximately 9" x 8.25".
Reverse side of piece features a stamp which reads, "Salon de peinture et de sculpture". Also, the handwritten graphite inscription, "E.D. 47 [?]" can be noted at bottom.
Edgar Degas (French, 19 July 1834 â?? 27 September 1917) was a French artist famous for his paintings, sculptures, prints, and drawings. He is especially identified with the subject of dance; more than half of his works depict dancers. Regarded as one of the founders of Impressionism, he rejected the term, preferring to be called a realist. He was a superb draftsman, and particularly masterly in depicting movement, as can be seen in his rendition of dancers, racecourse subjects and female nudes. His portraits are notable for their psychological complexity and for their portrayal of human isolation.
