EDGAR DEGAS. Dancers Practicing at the Barre

Dancers Practicing at the Barre. Artist: Edgar Degas (French, Paris 1834-1917 Paris). Dimensions: 29 3/4 x 32 in. (75.6 x 81.3 cm). Date: 1877. The watering can, visible at left, was a standard fixture in ballet rehearsal rooms; water was sprinkled on the floor to keep dust from rising when ballerinas danced. Degas also used the watering can as a visual pun: its shape is mimicked by that of the dancer at right. Shown at the 1877 Impressionist exhibition, the painting was given by Degas to the collector Henri Rouart as a replacement for an earlier work (now lost), which the artist altered and accidentally destroyed. Louisine Havemeyer purchased it from Rouart's estate sale in 1912, for $95,700, a record price for a work by a living artist.
