Inside Degas's Ballet Rehearsal
“A panoramic scene painted in the style of Edgar Degas's pastel ballet rehearsals, with airy pastel haze, off-balance composition, and a palette of stage pink, slate, and lemon. Foreground shows a row of ballerinas in white tulle and pink ribbons stretching on a polished studio floor, satin slippers laced tight. Midground reveals a balletmaster in a dark suit lifting a cane to count time and a pianist at an upright in the corner. Background shows tall arched windows letting in soft afternoon haze and a draped curtain partly drawn.”
