Edgar Degas (French, 1834–1917)
Oil colors freely mixed with turpentine, with traces of watercolor and pastel over pen-and-ink drawing on cream-colored wove paper, laid down on bristol board and mounted on canvas
There are three very similar versions of this composition. The largest, painted in grisaille (Musée d'Orsay, Paris), was shown in the first Impressionist exhibition in 1874. The two other works, tentatively dated to the same year, are in the Metropolitan's collection
