Trenddeko Dancer tying the bow

Impressionism would be poorer by one artist if Edgar Degas, born in 1834, had not successfully resisted his father's professional wishes. Instead of finishing his law studies, the young Degas decided to pursue an artistic career. Many great works show that this decision was the right one.

His enthusiasm for women and horses, Edgar Degas expressed in many paintings. His passion in the visual arts was also the ballet, which he demonstrated in many paintings. Clear image compositions emphasize the artistic signature of the French painter.

In the painting "Dancer Tying the Bow" a ballerina with her blue bow forms the center of the picture. The original is privately owned and was painted with pastel on paper.
