Edgar Degas often worked out a single pose from multiple angles on one sheet, a method borrowed from academic figure drawing and adapted to his central subject of the ballet dancer. "Three Studies of a Dancer in Fourth Position" shows this working method directly, presenting the same dancer's stance from different viewpoints to fully understand its structure before translating it into a finished pastel, painting, or sculpture. Sheets like this reveal the disciplined draftsmanship underlying Degas's seemingly effortless dance compositions.
Jacquard-woven both sides in soft, durable yarn; insert included.
