Edgar Degas was a French sculptor, painter, and much more from 1834-1917. He considered himself a realist. More than half his works were images of dancers. The dancer above is made of bronze and found in the Met in NYC. I really like this piece because it represents dancers of all styles even though he titled it the Spanish Dancer. As a dancer myself I find this a pose most dancers do know and practice. The dancer looks elegant and relaxed in this piece.
