Story
A group of young dancers in pale tutus rehearses inside a sunlit yellow room, watched over by instructors and a few onlookers gathered near the walls. The scene captures a quiet moment of practice rather than performance, with figures spread across the floor in varied poses. Painted in oil around 1872, the work comes from Edgar Degas, a French artist associated with Impressionism, now held at the Musée d'Orsay.
