Pastel painting on paper, in an Impressionist style, was created in 1877 by Edgar Degas.
Degas, a frequent visitor to the ballet, depicted an atypical scene in this painting: the ballet dancers' positions suggest a rehearsal, viewed from the orchestra pit, foregrounding the musicians' heads and some instruments. The focus is on the lead dancer, from left to right, creating diagonal lines in the same direction.
The work is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, USA.
