A little help choosing
Choosing your Degas painting
The Ballet Class draws the eye through a rehearsal room, with dancers scattered across its receding floor. Dancers at the Barre gives two stretching figures greater prominence, while Two Dancers on a Stage brings the performance closer. Compare the space around the figures as well as their poses.
For stronger colour, Four Dancers combines orange bodices and green tutus against a landscape setting; Ballet Rehearsal on Stage has a more restrained palette. A Woman Seated beside a Vase of Flowers offers a different balance, placing its sitter beside an abundant bouquet. When choosing replica oil paintings, check the individual reference: Degas returned to ballet repeatedly, and similarly named works can show different compositions.
Size and framing
Allow enough space for the smaller figures in The Ballet Class to remain legible. A closer study such as Dancers at the Barre needs a different balance of height and width. We can advise on the listed sizes or quote for an alternative while keeping the full composition and its proportions.
Our frames are handmade to order. Choose a frame moulding and colour finish to complement your painting and room, from antique gold or silver to contemporary painted finishes. Actual Farrow & Ball shades are available, and we can help shortlist suitable options.
Once suitable sizes and prices have been discussed, our free room mock-up service can help you compare the painting’s scale and proposed framing in your own space.

About Edgar Degas
French artist, associated with Impressionism, 1834–1917
Edgar Degas made the discipline behind ballet a central subject of modern painting. His dancers stretch, practise and wait, revealing the effort beneath the spectacle. In The Ballet Class, the rehearsal room matters as much as the figures: angled floorboards, gaps and overlapping bodies organise the viewer’s journey through the scene.
Although he helped establish the Impressionist exhibition group, Degas preferred the descriptions Realist or Independent. His academic training and study of older masters gave drawing a lasting importance. He brought that foundation to contemporary Paris, painting dancers, racehorses, café performers and working women. Unusual viewpoints and asymmetrical framing make his carefully constructed pictures feel like moments caught in passing.
Degas repeatedly explored poses and arrangements across painting, drawing, pastel, printmaking and sculpture. His later work often gives colour and gesture greater force, while pastel became an important means of experimentation. The variety within his ballet subjects is particularly revealing: the spacious rehearsal room, the concentrated stretching pose and the richly coloured group each make a different relationship between the body and its surroundings.
