dancer in white is a 1889 unspecified by Edgar Degas, a Impressionism work, depicting ballet dancer, held at National Museum of Fine Arts, Argentina.
The painting "Dancer in White" by Edgar Degas, created in 1877, features a female figure in a white dress with her right arm raised and left arm bent. Her body is turned to the left, with her face partially visible. The background is a light brown color, with some dark lines and shading that suggest movement. The dancer's pose and the way her dress flows around her body create a sense of energy and fluidity. The use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the painting, drawing the viewer's eye to the dancer's form.
