Female dancer

The Female dancer by Degas is a sculpture of a woman sitting on a rock-like base, her left leg bent under her body. The woman's right leg is extended. Her left arm is raised above her head. Her right arm is outstretched to the side. The sculpture appears to be made of a dark gray material, possibly clay or stone, with a rough texture. The woman's facial features are not clearly defined. The background of the image is a plain light grey wall. The sculpture sits on a light surface.
