Petite Danseuse

This 14-year old ballerina cast in bronze
depicts barefacedly the Paris Opera
milieu and exudes a vibrant character of
The Perfect danseuse of the artist's time
in a pleasure-seeking society. A tulle tutu,
real bodice and shiny pink satin ribbon in
her hair embrace a haughty pose of a
wispy body patinated in various colours.
Overwhelming is her flagrant self-
confidence and imprudent sense of being.

Musee d'Orsay, Paris

Edgar Degas (1834-1917)
Small Dancer Aged 14
