The Masseuse, Group

Edgar Degas

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features two human figures in a dynamic interaction. One figure is reclining while the other is standing over them, placing their hands on the reclining figure's leg. The material of the sculpture appears to be bronze with a warm reddish-brown hue. The surface of the sculpture is textured and uneven, accentuating the contours and forms of the figures. The sculpture is set on a wooden base.
