Edgar Degas

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a semicircular fan mount painting titled "Dancers" by Edgar Degas. The painting depicts four dancers on a cliff or mountain. The dancers are on the left side of the image. The three dancers on the left are wearing ballet skirts and are turned away from the viewer. The fourth dancer on the right is wearing a short tunic or dress and appears to be sitting on the edge of the cliff. The background is a mottled brown and gray color, resembling a cloudy sky. The bottom center of the semicircle is a light blue-gray color, bordered with orange. The semicircle has a thin white border. The background behind the semicircle is black.
