A fantastic poster featuring the painting Dancers Practicing at the Barre created in 1877 by the iconic artist Edgar Degas, whose signature we can see on the wall molding in the painting.
In the picture we see two ballerinas practicing at the barre. On the left we also see a water jug which was a standard in the ballet's rehearsal rooms; water was sprinkled on the floor to prevent dust from rising when ballerinas danced. Degas also used the watering can as a visual pun - its shape is mimicked by that of the dancer on the right.
The painting, which was shown at the Impressionist Exhibition of 1877, was given by Degas to the collector Henri Rouart. It was like a replacement for an earlier work (now lost), which the artist altered and accidentally destroyed. In 1912, Louisine Havemeyer bought it from Rouart's estate sale for $95,700—a record price for a work by a living artist.
Artist : Edgar Degas | Created: 1877.
