Danseuses à la barre is an historic highly finished pastel of ballet dancers by Edgar Degas, the long-acknowledged master of both the medium and the subject. This historic pastel dates from circa 1880, an important period of Degas' work and life during which he had consolidated his abilities, turning the pastels that had so fascinated him for half a decade to great effect on the dancers that had featured in his pictures for a decade.
