We’re closing our #TourTuesday with another work by #Degas! Although primarily known for his paintings and drawings, Degas experimented with sculpture throughout the later part of his career. These works offer another window into Degas’s fascination with bodies in motion. . Most of his wax sculptures were not shown during his life, and remained in storage until after he died in 1917, when his heirs decided to cast them in bronze to preserve them. This sculpture (the only one by Degas in our collection) was cast sometime before 1932. . Edgar Degas, Dancer Looking at the Sole of Her Right Foot, modeled ca. 1896–1911, cast before 1932, Carnegie Museum of Art
