About this work

You're looking at a painting of three young women in yellow dresses. They're standing close together, with their arms around each other. The woman in the middle is looking down, while the other two are looking at her. The background is blurry, but it looks like they're in a theater or a dance studio. The women are all wearing yellow tutus and have their hair pulled back. They look like they're getting ready to perform. The painting is done in soft, muted colors, with lots of yellow and green. It's a quiet, intimate scene. If you like this painting, you might want to check out more works by Edgar Degas.
