The Dancing Class

Edgar Degas

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a room with brown walls and a light-colored floor. A dark doorway is on the right wall. Three large mirrors are on the left wall. A group of young women in white dresses with pink ribbons are gathered around a dark wood piano on the left. One woman stands in the center of the room wearing a white dress and pink tights. Several other women in white dresses are reflected in the mirrors and one stands in the open doorway on the right. A man sits at the piano. There is a green watering can and black case on the floor. The painting is signed in red in the bottom right corner.
