The Star (L'Étoile) by Edgar Degas

The Star (L'Étoile) (1877)

Edgar Degas | Impressionism | Pastel over monotype

A ballerina dances alone on stage, glowing under the stage lights! Degas shows her from high above, as if you are looking down from a seat at the opera. Can you spot the man in a black suit half hidden in the wings?

Did you know? Degas made about 300 monotypes, which are one-of-a-kind prints, and he loved drawing over them with colorful pastel, just like he did here!
