OriginalWaiting, a pastel on paper by the French Impressionist Edgar Degas, completed between 1880–82. It is one of his earlier pastels, and part of a series of works depicting ballerinas. Here is a ballerina accompanied by her chaperone, bent over ostensibly to massage her foot but whose body language indicates a person racked with anticipation before she takes stage.
