EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Edgar Degas' exquisite sculpture titled "Woman Stretching, 1896-1911". Crafted with pigmented beeswax and a metal armature on a wooden base, this masterpiece measures 36.4x20.2x15.4 cm and is currently housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, USA. Degas, renowned for his impressionist style, beautifully captures the grace and elegance of a female model in this sculpture. The figure stands tall and poised, her body delicately sculpted to convey movement as she stretches. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every curve and contour of the woman's form. The use of wax adds an ethereal quality to the statuette, enhancing its lifelike appearance while also evoking a sense of vulnerability through its nakedness. This piece exemplifies Degas' mastery in capturing human anatomy with precision and sensitivity. As we admire this French impressionist artwork, we are transported back to a time when art sought to capture fleeting moments and emotions rather than rigid realism. Degas' ability to portray both strength and fragility within his subject makes this sculpture truly mesmerizing. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate the beauty of Degas' work up close while preserving its historical significance for generations to come.
