You see dancers in yellow dresses waiting in the wings. Degas painted this scene from a unique perspective, as if you're backstage with the performers. He was fascinated by the human body in motion and spent a lot of time observing dancers at the Paris Opéra. Check out the work of artist Hilaire Germain Edgar Degas to see more of his dance scenes.
