“Ballerina Catching her Balance” is another famous painting by Edgar Degas. This work shows a dancer in movement, performing an arabesque and rocking on one leg. Degas was fascinated by dancing girls and often depicted their movements and grace in his paintings. He also used offset angles and innovative framing to give his works a sense of dynamism. The rocking dancer is a demonstration of her talent for capturing the immediacy and beauty of dance.
