Galerie Mont Waiting – Edgar Degas^ Degas

In Waiting, Edgar Degas captures the silent anxiety of a dancer before her entrance on stage. The painting shows a young ballerina, deep in thought, slumped on a bench. Degas, a pioneer of Impressionism, uses a soft palette to convey the intimacy and fragility of the moment. A cross between a portrait and a genre scene, this work perfectly illustrates the artist’s ability to translate hidden emotions, offering a window onto the mental preparation of an artist before a performance.
