Trenddeko Degas - Two dancers in yellow

The French artist Edgar Degas was particularly adept at capturing the moment in pictures. In addition to the painterly representation of horses, ballet dancers were also among Degas' preferred artistic themes. Therefore, numerous motifs of the artist, born in 1834 in Paris, are dedicated to the ballet, where grace and lightness play the main role.

In the artwork "Two Dancers in Yellow", too, the viewer is made aware of the grace of young ballet dancers. The fact that the two dancers are in natural surroundings is particularly effective. The yellow of the clothes harmonizes very nicely with the summery blue sky and the green meadow, the hue of which is also reflected in the costume.

The original was created in 1896. It was painted with pastel and charcoal on paper.
