Description

Violinist, Study for The Dance Lesson by Edgar Degas concentrates on the musician’s absorbed posture and the close relationship between face, hands and instrument. Dark strokes define the figure against a muted green ground, with lighter touches bringing the features into view.

The drawing’s open passages keep attention on the act of playing. Its irregular lines and visible revisions suggest a searching study of movement, while the quiet color gives the portrait an intimate mood.
