Swaying Dancer (Dancer in Green), Degas

Also known as "Dancer in Green".
This is one of the artist's most instantly recognizable works. Here Edgar Degas captures just a fragment, like in a photograph or a Japanese print, of a dancer during an audition. The chosen technique successfully conveys the necessary speed with Pastel, and depth and brightness with Gouache.
The combination creates the transparency of the green dresses, a true work of art.
This image has been widely used for decorative prints and reproductions of all kinds.
